Quick Health Checks for Local Student Athletes

Every year, students in the Bureau Valley area gear up for sports season—and part of that preparation involves a mandatory sports physical. This year’s clinic is set for May 12, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Bureau Valley High School, where local doctors will be available to conduct the required checks.

Who Can Attend?

✅ Eligible Grades: Only students in grades 7–12 can participate in this year’s clinic. ❌ Not Eligible This Time: Incoming sixth graders and freshmen will need to wait for future opportunities.

Prep Work: More Than Just Showing Up

Before heading to the clinic, students must pick up a packet from the school office or website. This isn’t just a single form—it’s a hefty bundle including:

• Insurance details
• Sports physical form
• Concussion safety rules
• Medical permit
• Random drug testing form

Cost & Requirements:

• Students must bring $10 or have a parent accompany them.
• Important Note: Chiropractor visits do not count as a sports physical under state regulations—students must see a medical doctor.

How the Clinic Works

The process is simple but first-come, first-served—no appointments needed. To ensure a smooth visit:

• Arrive early to avoid long waits.
• Enter through the main entrance door—it’s the only entry point.
• The entire process takes less than two hours, making it a quick stop for busy families.
