Sports Physicals in Chino, CA
If your child wants to play school or community sports, they will likely need an annual sports physical to ensure they are healthy and cleared for athletic participation. Our clinic in Chino, CA provides convenient and thorough sports physicals for students of all ages.
What is Included in a Sports Physical?
A standard sports physical is very similar to a well-child checkup. It will include:
Along with the physical exam, we will check your child’s vitals including height, weight, blood pressure, temperature and pulse oximetry. Once all aspects are covered, we will complete any necessary medical forms to clear your athlete for their sport.
When Should My Child Get a Physical?
Most school districts and youth sports leagues require a new physical every 12 months. It must be completed after May 1st to be considered valid for the upcoming school year and sports season. We recommend scheduling your child’s sports physical at least 2-4 weeks before sports tryouts or the first practice to ensure the paperwork is processed and they are medically authorized in time.

Required Forms for High School Sports Physicals in Chino
Does your teen need to submit health clearance documentation for their school sports team tryouts this year? Policies vary between Chino school districts so check timing and forms needed well ahead. Many high schools require student athletes present:
- A current physical exam form signed by a qualified medical provider after May 1st, clearing unrestricted participation
- Medical history completed by a parent detailing past/current health concerns
- Insurance or emergency treatment authorization forms
- Immunization records showing their TDap booster, meningococcal vaccine, annual flu shot and full COVID-19 vaccination series
Sometimes additional district releases regarding more serious injuries, concussions or heat/environmental illness are necessary as well, ESPECIALLY for contact sports like football or wrestling.
Only fully completed, unexpired forms are accepted to comply with state law and pass clearance processes. Keep multiple copies safe! Submitting on deadlines is crucial too, or your child risks missing tryout sessions and early practices severely disadvantageous to team placement chances.
