Physical Examination Form
Sports Physicals–Athletics Medical Information
The following procedure should be followed for all students who want to try out for a sport in high school or middle school.
- A parent or legal guardian must complete and sign the online registration packet.
- To participate in sports, all students must have a current (within the last year) physical on file, or uploaded upon registration.
- Families are strongly encouraged to schedule a physical with their child's private physician before the season begins.
- Using your own doctor ensures your child is prepared and avoids delays in certification.
- Students will then be certified and cleared by the school nurse. The athletic office will notify families of office hours for certification.
- Middle school athletes trying out for a high school sport must have their parents/guardians indicate it in the online sports packet. Additional requirements include a signed parental permission form, a recent tanner rating (done by either private MD or school health care provider), and an agility test.
If an athlete seeks medical attention during a sports season, a clearance note from their physician is required to return to sports.
An athlete who sustains a concussion or head injury must provide a medical clearance note from his or her health care provider and then follow the “Return to Play Protocol” which includes final clearance by the school medical officer before returning to sports. To view our District Concussion Management Protocol, click here for the document.
Re-certification for an Additional Sports Season:
Prior to each sports season, an athlete with a valid sports physical (occurring within 1 year) will need to re-certify using the online sports program. Athletes may not re-certify more than 30 days before a sports season begins.
