Why Athletic Physicals and Permission to Treat are Essential
As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all student-athletes, completing an athletic physical and providing permission to treat is critical. Here’s why:
1. Ensuring Readiness to Compete
Athletic physicals are a proactive step to assess a student’s overall health and ability to safely participate in sports. These evaluations help identify any underlying health concerns that may need attention before engaging in physical activity.

2. Emergency Preparedness
By completing the permission-to-treat form, parents or guardians give us the authority to provide prompt medical attention in case of an injury or emergency. This ensures that no time is lost in addressing urgent medical needs during practices, games, or events.

3. Compliance with School and State Policies
Most schools and athletic organizations require physicals and consent forms to comply with health and safety regulations. Staying up-to-date avoids delays in participation and ensures eligibility for your child to compete.

4. Peace of Mind
Knowing that your child is medically cleared and that the school has the necessary permissions for treatment provides confidence and peace of mind for families.
