Summer is a great time to get Sports Physicals! Youth in grades 7-12 need a sports physical on file to participate in sports. These physicals expire after three years, so we recommend sports physicals before 7th and 10th grades. Families can combine well-child exams and sports physicals. Ask your provider for a sports physical at their next appointment! #DutchmenPride
