Thank you for assisting with the provision of quality sports pre-participation physicals and screenings at FCPS high schools. The Virginia High School League requires that each student athlete participating in athletics have a sports physical exam after May 1 preceding the school year. Providing the opportunity for student athletes to receive the pre-participation physical at school allows the students to receive a quality comprehensive sports-specific screening, and the school to receive much needed donations to help support the athletic healthcare programs available to all student athletes. These school-based sports physicals are not intended to replace annual wellness exams provided by the children's family physician.

Please complete this registration form indicating the dates you are available to assist, and the school or schools that you would be willing to travel to. Upon completion of this survey, you will be contacted by the certified athletic trainer at the school you have chosen for final confirmation and details regarding the event. Again, thank you for assisting with this program.

Responsibilities during the physicals would be determined by local need and your expertise/credential:
-Nurses and EMTs will most likely assist with vision screening, anthropometric measurement, BP and pulse.
-Physical Therapists will most likely assist with postural and flexibility screenings.
-Non-medically credentialed volunteers will assist with administration of the process, check-in and check-out, etc.
-Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants: All students will have completed a multi-station screening process prior to arriving at your station, including vision, height/weight, blood pressure, flexibility, strength and posture.  We are asking that you review the athlete's medical history (page 2 of the VHSL PPE) along with the results of the previously completed exams prior to completing any evaluations you deem necessary to verify the student's readiness to participate in athletics. If you feel the athlete should be evaluated by a specialist (i.e.: pediatric cardiologist) or their family practitioner, please indicate the need for follow-up evaluation on page 3 of the VHSL PPE form.

By registering to volunteer, you acknowledge that at no time should any student athlete’s personal health information be disclosed, discussed, or shared outside of your duties specific to this VHSL physical performed at the high school.
