Anyone trying out for a sport must have a valid physical on file with the school nurse prior to the first day of tryouts. All new students (9^th grade and transfers) are required to have a summer physical dated after 5/16/21 submitted to the school nurse prior to the first day of tryouts, or the student may give their new physical to Mr. Loovis on the first day of tryouts. All returning students must have a valid physical on file with the school nurse that doesn’t expire during the sport’s season. A physical is valid for one year from the exam date. Find the form here.

It is recommended by ImPACT that you use Google Chrome to access the test and allow pop-up windows for the duration of the test. Complete the test in a distraction free environment, and use a desktop computer, not a mobile device.
