What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical, also called a pre-participation physical examination (PPE), is a medical evaluation required by most California schools, youth sports leagues, and athletic programs before a student-athlete can participate. The exam identifies any health conditions that could increase the risk of injury or a medical emergency during physical activity. In California, most schools require a completed physical for students beginning a new level of participation. A sports physical typically remains valid for one school year. Westlight Medical Group in Anaheim, CA accepts new patients for sports physicals. Call (657) 749-6633 or request an appointment online.
