Save The Date: KOC Sports Screenings Scheduled for May 16
Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic (KOC) continues its long tradition of offering preparticipation physical evaluations (PPEs) for high school students to allow participation in athletics through the summer and the upcoming 2026-27 school year.
The one-day clinic will be held Saturday, May 16, 2026, for student-athletes entering high school from freshmen through senior year. Each evaluation costs $15, payable by card, cash or check made out to KOC.
Evaluations will be held from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. at two different Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic locations: KOC West at 260 Fort Sanders West Blvd. and KOC Powell at 7750 Dannaher Drive.
The screenings are designed to offer parents a convenient and affordable way to help students prepare for summer and school athletic activities.
No appointment is needed for the physical exams, but there is a schedule by school, which can be found below or by clicking here.
Required forms must be completed by parents or guardians prior to evaluations. Those can be downloaded here:

The purpose of the evaluation is to meet the requirements for participation set by the Tennessee Secondary Athletic Association (TSSAA). It is not designed to replace comprehensive health evaluations by an individual’s doctor. If, during the exam, a provider detects a potentially hazardous condition, further evaluation by the athlete’s personal physician may be required before participation would be recommended.
Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic has a longstanding history supporting local athletes with KOC doctors serving as team physicians for area high schools and post-secondary institutions including the University of Tennessee, Carson Newman University, Maryville College, Lincoln Memorial University and Johnson University. KOC providers also support professional teams including the Knoxville Smokies, One Knoxville Sporting Club and the Knoxville Ice Bears.
