When to Get a Spring Sports Physical
As spring approaches, coaches and organizers start putting together schedules for upcoming sports. At the same time, parents begin making plans to haul their kids back and forth between games and practices. To make your spring athletics safer and more manageable, it’s important to get physicals out of the way as soon as possible.
Why Get a Physical?
Every child should meet annually with a pediatrician or family medical doctor to monitor growth and development, while keeping immunizations current. That said, to participate in youth sports, children are often required to get additional physical examinations to check for underlying health issues.
Even if an organized sport does not require a physical, it’s still a good idea to get one.
When to Get a Physical?
