Athletic Participation and Student Fees

Page updated 2009-07-28

Athletic Physicals Required Every Two Years

State law requires students in grades 7–12 participating in school athletics to get a physical every two years.

Students participating in pre-season activities connected to school-sponsored athletics should get a physical over the summer if they have not had one in the last two years. Students who have a valid doctor's note for physicals taken in the last two years do not have to get another one to participate in fall sports.

More information: Contact middle or high school principals or athletic directors or the district's office of Secondary Education at 503-399-2636.
