VHSL Sports Physicals Required for Participation in School Athletics

 All students who wish to try out for a school sport or participate in conditioning for school sports must submit a VHSL ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION/PARENTAL CONSENT/PHYSICAL EXAMINATION FORM prior to participation.  Forms must be completely filled in and properly signed, attesting that the student athlete has been examined and found to be physically fit for athletic competition, and that parents give consent for his/her participation.

A VHSL physical form is required each school year.  The form must be dated after May 1 of the preceding school year and is good through June 30 of the current school year.  This means that a sports physical completed today will cover a student for participation now through June 30, 2023. 

 Families of students who plan to participate in school sports should contact your primary care provider to schedule a sports physical or contact local walk-in clinics to inquire about their ability to complete sports physicals. You may be required to bring the form with you; it is found on the VHSL website and is linked above.
