Under NFHS wrestling rule 4-2-3, a wrestler suspected of a communicable skin condition needs current written documentation from a physician that the condition is not communicable and that participation would not harm an opponent. ASAA's one-page release provides it, and the coach presents it at the weigh-in or before competition in the dual meet or tournament.
The physician completes the whole form: diagnosis, communicable or non-contagious, lesion locations marked on a body diagram, medications, treatment start date and the earliest date the wrestler may resume, then prints name and signs.

Release for Wrestler to Participate with Skin Lesions
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

No. The note to providers on ASAA's release says non-contagious lesions such as eczema or psoriasis do not require treatment before the wrestler returns. The physician marks the diagnosis as non-contagious so officials can see the condition is not communicable.
Yes. If an on-site tournament physician is present, that physician may overrule the diagnosis of the physician who signed the form. The release is still needed at weigh-in, because NFHS rules require current written documentation before the wrestler competes.
For herpes simplex, zoster or gladiatorum, ASAA's guideline is no new lesion in 48 hours and all lesions scabbed over, with no oral treatment required. The physician enters the medications used, the treatment start date and the earliest date the wrestler may resume.
