Sports Physicals

Any student in grades 7-12 participating in interscholastic athletics, danceline, or cheerleading must have a current physical examination on file. This physical must be done within the past three years and may be performed by a physician, nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant.

If you have a child who intends to participate in these activities in the coming school year and does not have a current physical on file at their school, contact their health care provider to schedule a physical examination.

After major surgery or serious illness or injury, a physician must certify in writing the student's readiness for participation in interscholastic athletics, danceline or cheerleading.
