Melissa ISD students in grades 7-12 who will participate in UIL athletics, band, cheerleading, colorguard, and dance for the 2025-2026 school year are required to have certain information on file with the school in order to be eligible for participation in their desired program(s).

All required documentation must be completed each year in Rank One according to the program deadline listed below. Visit www.melissaisd.org/uil for instructions on how to access Rank One and to complete the required information for a participating student.

UIL requirements include an annual student physical. The student’s parent or guardian must print the pre-participation physical examination (PPE) form to complete with a physician, pediatrician, physician’s assistant, chiropractor, or nurse practitioner. Student physicals should be dated no earlier than May 1, 2025 to be eligible for the 2025-2026 school year.

Clinics for student physicals are not offered at Melissa ISD; however, a number of Melissa-area clinics offer this service for families including QuestCare, CommunityMed, and Texas Health Resources.

Physicals can be uploaded directly to Rank One. Once uploaded, the student’s form will show as "Pending Approval." MISD athletic trainers must approve the physical before the student can participate. If the physical is not approved, parents will receive an email from Rank One with notes outlining required corrections or additional documentation. After making the necessary updates, re-upload the form for approval. Approval typically takes 3–7 business days, depending on the time of year.
