- Physicals may be completed by a private physician or in the nurse’s office by the school doctor.
- Physicals are considered current for 13 months.
- Physical forms and blue cards can be picked up in the main office.
- All completed physical forms and blue cards should be brought to the nurse for validation.
- If an athlete is involved in more than one sport, additional validated blue cards will be available from the trainer.
- The nurse will validate all cards and keep the physical forms on file.
- Coaches may check with the trainer at any time with questions regarding medical eligibility.

Ultimately, it is the coach’s responsibility to insure that every one of their athletes has a current validated blue card before they practice or play.
The school based Health Center, located on the first floor, provides physical exams and sports physicals.
All athletes must maintain a 2.0 point grade average or better for the academic quarter prior to the season. Athletes must also maintain a 2.0 grade point average throughout the playing season.
