Sports Physicals & RankOne System

Sports Physicals

• Each school year, all student-athletes are required to obtain a sports physical from their primary care physician or an urgent care facility, dated after May 1, 2026.
   
• Student-athletes are also required to re-certify their physical information each sports season if the physical is dated more than six weeks before the start of the season.
   
• This is a mandatory requirement that MUST be completed at least two days before the start of official practice for you to be eligible for day one. This includes any sport that is conducting official tryouts.

**IMPORTANT** Physical Recertification:

• If your child previously played a sport during the 2026-27 school year (and has had no major injury) or their physical is dated more than six weeks before the start of the season, you MUST RE-CERTIFY their physical information in the RankOne system for each season.
   
• The PIAA stipulates that a recertification be completed no more than six weeks before the official start of the sports season.

Required Physical Form to be Completed by a Physician & Submitted to the Athletic Training Office:

• Print a hard copy of the PIAA Sections 5 and 6 Health History and the Medical Examiner pages to take to the doctor's office to be completed. Only this physical paperwork from PIAA is acceptable. All other forms will be rejected.
