Schedule Your Child’s Sports Physical Exam

Many sports and activities require a physical exam before a child can participate. The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) requires an updated physical every three years. These physicals are completed by a family medicine provider or pediatrician to determine whether a child can participate with or without limitations, or if the child should not participate. An exam is important to determine if there may be any pre-existing conditions that could put the child at risk for sport participation.

We recommend you schedule a complete well-child exam with your primary health care clinician. This is also a good time to review and update immunizations before school begins. Please come to the appointment prepared with a copy of the MN State High School League Physical Exam Form signed by a parent or a guardian. Forms are also available at the clinics.

If you have not established a relationship with a physician, now is a great time to start. Most well exams are covered by insurance carriers.

Sports physical forms are available in English, Spanish, Somali and Hmong at the Minnesota State High School League Physical Exam Form website.
