Who needs a sports physical?
Schools, athletic organizations, summer camps and recreational sports teams generally require student-athletes to complete a sports physical — also referred to as a preparticipation physical exam — before participating in team practices or athletic events.

Sports Physicals vs. Well-Child Visits
A sports physical is used to determine whether it is safe for your child to participate in sports. During a well-child visit, your child’s overall health and medical history will be assessed, routine immunizations given and your child’s development will be tracked and recorded.
