Do You Need a Sports or Extracurricular Physical?

Most schools, sports leagues, and extracurricular programs require a physical to ensure participants are in good health and can safely engage in physical activities.

Common Reasons Students Need a Physical:

  • School Sports Participation: Required by middle schools, high schools, and colleges for sports like football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and more.
     
  • Extracurricular Activities: Activities such as cheerleading, marching band, dance, or gymnastics often require a physical to confirm readiness.
     
  • Youth Sports Leagues: Many local and regional leagues for children and teens require physicals before participation.
     
  • Camps & Clinics: Summer sports camps, activity-specific clinics, and training programs may request a physical.
     

Even if the activity isn’t sports-related, many schools and organizations require a general health clearance for participation to ensure the safety of all participants.
