New Sports Physical Form

Beginning July 1, 2025, all student-athletes must submit a new Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) Form before participating in any school-sponsored athletic activity. This form must:

• Be fully completed and signed by a licensed healthcare provider
• Confirm that the student has been found physically fit for athletic participation
• Be dated within 14 months of the healthcare provider’s signature
• Be submitted to the school principal or designee along with parent/guardian consent

Completed physical forms must be submitted directly to the student's school. Forms should not be brought or emailed to the School Board Office.

If you have any questions, please contact the athletic department at your student's school.

New Form Requirement

Any physical examination completed on or after July 1, 2025, must be documented on the new VHSL PPE form. Download the 2025-26 VHSL Physical Form. 

FAQs

Q: On July 1, 2025, if a student has a physical signed within the last 14 months, is another physical needed?
A: No. If the student’s physical was completed and signed within the last 14 months, it remains valid.

Q: If the valid physical was done before July 1, 2025, using the old form, does the student need a new one?
A: No. Physicals completed before July 1, 2025, using the old form, remain valid for 14 months from the date signed.

Q: When does my student's current physical form expire?
A: The student's current physical form expires 14 months from the date it was signed. If a form’s expiration date falls on a day that does not exist (e.g., September 31 or February 30), the expiration will default to the last valid day of that month.
