PHYSICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INCOMING 7TH AND 9TH GRADE ATHLETES:

The Tennessee State Board of Education has recommended that all incoming 7th and 9th grade athletes will need to complete an Early, Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) or well-child exam. This will include 7 components listed below:

  • Health History
  • Behavior and Mental Health Assessment
  • Complete Physical Exam
  • Lab tests that are individual specific (i.e. urinalysis, blood work, etc)
  • Vision and Hearing Screening
  • Immunizations
  • Anticipatory Guidance- Tobacco, Drugs, and Seat Belts

Until the rule-making process is complete, however, either exam (the traditional sports physical or the comprehensive well-child checkup/EPSDT screen) will be accepted by the State Board of Education and by TSSAA.

If you chose to obtain a complete well child exam, please make arrangements to get the EPSDT done through their primary care physician or pediatrician.
