Student athletes can get their athletic physical completed for the 2017-18 school year on Friday, before school gets out for summer. The early availability of physicals allows athletes to have a current physical for summer camps, instead of them having to find another means of obtaining one.

Students can choose different times to attend with two windows open, the first between 7:00-10:30 a.m. and the second from 2:30-5:00 p.m.

After the physicals are turned in, online paperwork must be filled out so student athletes will be able to participate in activities in the 2017-18 school year that require a physical. 

“[They] are being offered early because athletes will need a new physical for next year,” head athletic trainer Joseph White said. “The company, RankOne, that uses the online forms, rolls or moves everyone up to their next grade level on May 1 so that they’re ahead with fall sports by offering physicals.”
