Sports Physicals
When Should My Child Get a Sports Physical?
Most often, a sports physical must be completed and submitted to the school or coach before your child’s very first practice. A sports physical MUST BE authorized by a provider AFTER May 1 for the upcoming school year in order to be valid. Sports physicals are typically valid for one school calendar year (Example: May 1st, 2024 - May 31st, 2025).
Is It Possible My Child Won't Pass
The Physical?
Yes. If your child is deemed unfit to play a sport due to medical concerns – like a recent concussion, hernia, undiagnosed heart murmur, or uncontrolled asthma – he or she will not pass the sports physical. Our top priority is keeping our patients healthy and safe – so if your child does not pass the exam, we’ll work with patients and parents to make sure they get the care they need prior to getting into a game.
