The image below shows what the button should look like if you would like to use this option instead. WHEN CAN I GET A NEW SPORT PHYSICAL? IHSAA Rule 3-10 will be followed when it comes to expiration dates for sport physical. “Physical examination must be performed on or after April 1 by a health care professional holding an unlimited license to practice medicine, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant to be valid for the following school year.“ For example: If a physical is completed on 4/1/2022 it will be good until 7/9/2023. However, if a physical is completed on 3/31/2023, it will only be good until 7/10/2023. WHO DO I TURN MY SPORT PHYSICAL IN TO? You may upload the athletic physical for on FinalForms or you can turn the hard copy in to Jennifer Lady in the Athletic Office If you are emailing the sport physical or uploading it directly to Final Forms, please upload it as a single file rather than each page being a separate file. If you turn in a hard copy, please make sure all pages for the sport physical are stapled together to minimize the risk of one of your sport physical papers getting mixed with someone else’s packet. WHO NEEDS A SPORT PHYSICAL? Anyone in grades 5-12 wanting to participate in athletic department extracurricular activities, this includes: student-athletes; anyone wanting to manage an athletic team, and; anyone taking part in special athletic events like powderpuff football. WHY DO I NEED A SPORT PHYSICAL EVERY YEAR? Aside from state rules, an annual sport physical is a useful tool for sports medicine staff to track student-athlete health and development. A lot of physical and psychosocial changes occur year-to-year for this patient population, and in order to mitigate risk and provide the best possible care for the Richmond Community Schools student-athletes, the sports medicine staff needs information on factors that may predispose some student-athletes to certain injuries or illnesses. I TURNED MY SPORT PHYSICAL IN, BUT FINAL FORMS SHOWS IT’S STILL MISSING, WHY? Our athletic staff needs to go through every sport physical and manually enter each expiration date into Final Forms. Please be patient with this process, but we will try to have the information updated within 24 hours. If you gave the paperwork to the coach instead of the office, then sometimes the paperwork doesn’t always make its way to the secretary in a timely manner. If it’s been a while since you provided the documents to the coach and Final Forms is still not updated, contact the coach to make sure the sport physical has been given to the athletic trainer.
