All Sports Physicals completed on
or after June 1, 2008 will be
effective for three
consecutive sports seasons
or one year,
whichever occurs first. However,
this physical will need to be
recertified if a student-athlete
suffers an injury or serious
illness during the season
immediately preceding the one
that the student-athlete plans to
join.
All documents related to the
application process are available
at the Middle and High School
Main Offices. For your
convenience, you may also
download forms listed as PDF
files on this website or directly
from the PIAA website at
www.piaa.org
. Click on the ‘Resources’
tab and select ‘Forms’. The
2008-2009 Physical form (CIPPE)
should be in that list. You will
only need pages 1-4.

Parents – for your
convenience and money saving
ideas, may we suggest you sit
down and plan out what items your
child may need a physical for
this school year. Items like the
driver’s license, worker’s
permits, and 11th grade physicals
need performed throughout the
year along with your personal
pediatrician requiring an annual
check-up. The sports physical can
now be done in conjunction with
any or all of these tasks. By
accumulating your forms, you may
be able to save yourselves any
additional financial burdens
since many insurance companies do
not cover more than one physical
per calendar year.
Please feel free to make
copies of this form before
submission if you would have need
to have a copy for any other
purposes i.e. camps, tryouts, or
insurance---we must have the
original in our files.
Geisinger Medical Group
and Family Health Associates both
encourage you to get your
appointments now and avoid the
rush in late July or early August
since the PIAA has opened the
window for completion beginning
June 1st. |
