Sport physicals are a great way to make sure an athlete can safely play. Even if your school does not require a sports physical, it also helps to keep immunizations up to date and provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have.
The sports physical is done to:
Find out if you are in good health.
Measure the maturity of your body.
Measure your physical fitness.
Learn about injuries you have now.
Find conditions you may have that could make you more likely to be injured.
