What Is a School or Sports Physical?

A school or sports physical, also known as a pre-participation physical exam, helps determine whether a student is healthy enough to safely participate in school activities and organized sports. These evaluations can identify medical concerns that may affect a student's ability to participate safely while providing an opportunity to discuss overall health and wellness.

During your visit, our provider will review your child's medical history, measure vital signs, and perform a comprehensive physical examination. The goal is to ensure your student is ready for the classroom, the playing field, or any extracurricular activity.

What Happens During a School or Sports Physical?

School and sports physicals are straightforward and can typically be completed in one convenient visit. Our providers perform a thorough evaluation while looking for any health concerns that could impact athletic participation or everyday activities.

Your child's physical may include:

• Height, weight, and vital sign measurements
• Vision screening
• Heart and lung examination
• Joint flexibility and posture assessment
• Review of medical history and previous injuries

For student-athletes, we also evaluate strength, mobility, and any prior sports-related injuries to help ensure they can safely participate in athletic activities.

When Should You Schedule a Physical?

It's always a good idea to schedule your child's physical before the busy back-to-school and sports registration season begins. Many schools, camps, and athletic organizations require completed physical forms before students are allowed to participate.

Even if a physical isn't required, an annual exam is an excellent way to monitor your child's overall health, growth, and development while giving families an opportunity to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.

What Should You Bring?

Arriving prepared helps make your visit faster and allows us to complete any required paperwork during your appointment.

Please bring:

• School or sports physical forms
• Immunization records, if requested by the school or organization
• A list of current medications
• Information about previous medical conditions or injuries

Having these documents available helps ensure your child leaves with completed forms ready to submit.
