✅ Part Two: Required Athletic Forms

1. SPORTS PHYSICAL – (Completed by Physician)

  • This physical is valid for 1 year from the date of the exam.
  • If the physical is valid on the first day of practice, your student is cleared for the entire season – even if it expires mid-season.
  • If the physical is expired, your student’s status will show as “expired” on the ACA Sports Clearance Spreadsheet.

2. HEALTH HISTORY UPDATE – (Completed by Parent)

  • This is needed if it has been more than 90 days since the physical exam.
  • Completed by a parent before the start of each new sports season.
  • If you answer “yes” to any health questions, the school nurse will decide if more medical clearance is needed.
  • If this form is missing, the status will show as “update” on the ACA Sports Clearance Spreadsheet.
