The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening. ClamAV detections indicate it is recognized as a Trojan. The document body presents a plausible lure, appearing to be a form for a school sports team, designed to trick the user into enabling macros. The Document_Open macro likely executes the malicious payload.
