The Scholastic Student-Athlete Safety Act (SS-ASA) (N.J.S.A. 18A:40-41.7) mandates that sports physicals may only be completed by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse (APN) or physician assistant (PA) who has completed the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module. The licensed physician, APN, or PA must sign the certification statement on the Pre-participation physical form attesting to the completion of the professional development module. Physical forms will not be accepted without the healthcare provider’s signature in the certification statement section. The student will not be cleared to participate in their sport unless your healthcare provider completes the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module AND signs the certification statement on Page 4. It is recommended that you verify that your medical provider has completed this module before scheduling your sports physical appointment.
The Annual Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Forms are required by the New Jersey Department of Education. These forms are required for any middle or high school student in New Jersey who wants to participate in an interscholastic or intramural sports program. Students must have their exam approved by the school doctor before they may participate in practice or tryouts. Our school doctor is scheduled in advance to review all the sports physicals for the entire district.
Forms that are submitted late or incomplete cannot be guaranteed to be approved by the school physician. Students who have not received clearance by the school doctor may not participate in any practice or tryout. Please adhere to all deadlines and guidelines to ensure that your child is able to participate.
