Launch the media gallery 1 player

Prior to the start of the school year, students interested in participating in extra-curricular activities in their school are required to complete a pre-participation physical evaluation to be completed by a healthcare provider.  The annual history and the physical examination shall not be taken earlier than May 1 preceding the school year for which it is applicable.  The KSHSAA recommends completion of this evaluation by athletes/cheerleaders at least one month prior to the first practice to allow time for corrections of deficiencies and implementation of conditioning recommendations.  

The Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation Form has been updated from what has been used in the past.  All students completing physical examinations need to be sure to use the form that has the revision date of 3/2024 in the bottom right hand corner.  Older versions of this form will no longer be accepted.  Since this is a new form, there a few changes that students, parents, and health care providers need to be aware of.  They are outlined below.
