High School Students (Class of 2027–2030)
- Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email that has two forms attached. These forms need to be signed by a parent/legal guardian for any student-athlete.
- 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.
