You must bring these signed documents with you on the day of the event.
These physicals are free of charge.
The sports physical and cardiac screening will require the student-athlete to move through multiple stations which will include a Vitals Exam, a Medical Exam, and Orthopedic Exam, and a Cardiac Exam.
We request that parents/guardians wait for their child in the designated waiting areas while they complete their physical.
This a screening exam for the student to be able to participate in athletics.
Note: If your child is currently being treated for a significant medical, cardiac, or orthopedic condition, we recommened that you consult with your primary care or specialty physician instead.
As a screening, this exam does not take the place of your normal visit to your primary care physician. Please continue to see them as scheduled.
