Sports Physicals Fast, Affordable Physicals for School & Athletics

What is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical—also known as a pre-participation physical exam (PPE)—is required by many schools and athletic programs to ensure an athlete is healthy enough to safely participate in sports.
At CareFirst Urgent Care, our providers perform thorough evaluations to help identify any potential health concerns before the season begins.
What’s Included in a Sports Physical?
Our sports physicals are designed to be efficient while covering all required areas:
- Review of medical history
- Height, weight, and vital signs
- Vision screening
- Heart and lung evaluation
- Musculoskeletal exam (joints, strength, flexibility)
- General fitness and wellness assessment
Once your physical is complete, our clinicians will fill out and sign any required school or sports forms.
Who Needs a Sports Physical?
Sports physicals are typically required for:
- School sports teams (middle school, high school, college)
- Club and travel teams
- Recreational leagues
- Camps and athletic programs
If your child or teen plans to participate in sports, a physical exam is often required before the season starts.
