Why a Sports Physical Matters
A sports physical, or Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE), helps determine if it’s safe for a student to participate in a specific sport. It can include:
-
A review of your child’s medical history
-
A physical exam checking height, weight & blood pressure, musculoskeletal system including joints, strength, and flexibility
-
Discussion of any previous injuries or health concerns
PPEs are required by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) for all students who wish to participate in high school athletics. Getting your child’s physical done early helps to ensure safe participation and gives you peace of mind.
