NCAA ADD/ADHD Requirements;  The NCAA regulates and/or bans the use some drugs deemed potentially harmful to student- athletes, as well as drugs which can create an unfair advantage in competition.  This ban includes certain stimulants, some of which are used to treat ADD/ADHD.  As a result, student-athletes who may need to use these medicines to support their academics and their general health must work with their physicians and college medical staff to document appropriate use.  The NCAA has a outlined steps to review and approve legitimate use of medications that contain NCAA  banned substances through a Medical Exceptions Procedure.  The informational flyer found here has been created and publicized by the NCAA to educate student-athletes diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, their family and treating physician on the required documentation.  To simplify the documentation request process, Ursinus Sports Medicine has developed a stremlined form found here, which you can print and complete with your doctor.  Once complete, the form and attachments must be supplied to Ursinus College Athletic Training Staff (at the time of team physicals) in order to request an exception in the event that the student athlete tests positive during NCAA Drug Testing.
