Student-Athlete Care and Support

The image is an advertisement for a sports medicine clinic that offers services for injured high school football players on Friday nights during the regular season. The background shows a football field, and the foreground prominently displays the clinic's logo and contact information.

Physical Therapy and Physicals

Several local sports medicine clinics provide game and practice coverage for our student-athletes. Thanks to the University Sports Medicine Clinic (USMC), Elite Physical Therapy, and the Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Clinic (MSMOC) for providing trainers to cover JPS games and practices.

An afterhours clinic is held at USMC Pavilion on Friday nights after football games until 11 p.m. or after all patients have been treated. A Saturday morning clinic is provided during the football season by MSMOC at their Fortification Street location.

All of the above sports medicine organizations provide free physicals for our student-athletes. Be sure to thank them for their support.

Booster Clubs

Sports and extracurricular booster organizations are welcomed by JPS Athletics. Parents and supporters are encouraged to work together to form a supportive and organized booster club. The organization should be formed solely to raise funds and create activities that will provide support and encouragement for participating students.

In order to provide concessions at JPS athletic events, booster clubs must attend the annual Booster Club Meeting held by the Executive Director of Athletics. The meeting is usually held during the month of July. Booster clubs must have in place a Mission and Purpose Statement and at least the following officers: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Elections should be held in May of each year.

All booster clubs should work toward obtaining 501(c )(3) status. Booster Clubs must also be approved by the school principal.
