Sports Physicals

Date: July 4, 2023

New forms are available for high school athletes planning to join a sport in Delaware this fall (2023-24).  You can download the form here.  The family is required to complete pages 2, 3, and 5 BEFORE we complete the physician portion.  Please do NOT give us a blank form.

The DIAA form can be SIGNED anytime after April 1.  We must have performed a regular checkup in the 12 months prior to filling out and signing the form.

The form must be returned to the school before the student may begin participation in the sport.  If your high school athlete has not had a checkup within the last 12 months, please call us to schedule one.  

A "Sports Physical" performed at a Medical Aid Unit or Wellness Center is done only for the purpose of signing this form.  It is not medical care; the exam is bare-bones, minimal medical history is taken, and no medical issues or risk factors are addressed.  But we are eager to provide your child with proper medical care at a "regular checkup" in our office.

Don't wait until the last minute to schedule - our schedule is filling in rapidly.
