Sports Physicals
Quick, Convenient Clearance for Active Kids & Teens
Whether your child is starting a new sport, joining a team, attending camp, or participating in school athletics, a sports physical helps ensure they’re healthy, safe, and ready to play.
At Health Care for Children, we make sports physicals simple, thorough, and stress-free — all with the compassionate care your family trusts.
What Happens at a Sports Physical?
Each visit includes a comprehensive evaluation to confirm your child is ready for physical activity:
- Review of medical history and past injuries
- Height, weight, and vital signs
- Vision screening
- Heart and lung exam
- Joint and muscle evaluation
- Discussion of training, safety, and hydration
- Completion of all required school, camp, or sports forms
💡 Tip: Bring the required forms with you — we’ll complete them during the visit.
Why Sports Physicals Matter
Sports physicals help detect potential concerns early, such as:
- Asthma or breathing difficulties
- Cardiac symptoms
- Joint instability or prior injuries
- Concussion history
- Exercise-induced symptoms
Our goal is always the same:
Keep kids active, safe, and confident — on and off the field.
Same-Day Appointments Available
Kids are busy — and so are parents.
That’s why we offer same-day and next-day sports physicals for established patients, especially during peak sports seasons.
If your child also needs a well-child visit, our team can help you schedule both — on separate days — to ensure insurance coverage and accurate documentation.
Bring These to Your Child’s Appointment
- Sports or school physical form
- Glasses or contacts (if applicable)
- List of medications
- History of injuries or concussions
- Recent immunization records

- Bring any school, sports, or mental health forms that may need completion.
