SPORTS PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS

All candidates for all athletic teams shall be examined prior to participation each school year by a physician.

No candidate will be permitted to engage in either a practice or a contest unless this requirement has been met.

An athlete need not be re-examined upon entering another sport unless the coach requests it.

If a student is injured, either in practice, a contest, or from an incident outside of school activities that requires medical attention, that student will not be permitted to return to athletic activity until the physician examines the student and pronounces the student medically fit for athletics.

Medical expenses incurred above will not be paid for by the School Department.
