Sports Physicals Available Daily at Our Walk-In Clinic in Marmora, NJ

Many youth programs require that kids have a physical exam before they can participate. This is intended to ensure that all participants are physically able to perform the typical team activities without risking their personal health and safety. While parents may appreciate the importance of taking this step, they may not look forward to the hassles involved in getting a physical exam for their child or teen on short notice. Fortunately for those in the Marmora, New Jersey, area, Cape Regional Urgent Care offers sports physicals to walk-in patients every day of the week, including on the weekends.

What to Bring for Your Child’s Sports Physical

A sports physical typically includes a medical assessment of your child’s vital signs, vision, reflexes, and body strength, as well as whether your child has any known health conditions that may be relevant. Because activities can vary according to your child’s chosen sport, many youth programs furnish parents with a sports physical form that asks the doctor to evaluate specific aspects of a child’s health. If you’ve received a sports physical form from the program coordinator, make sure to bring it with you for your child’s exam. Additionally, you should bring:

• Your child’s glasses or contact lenses if applicable
• Notes about any health conditions your child has had or that run in the family
• A list of medications your child takes regularly

At the end of the sports physical, your consulting doctor will either sign the form indicating that your child is cleared for participation, with or without restrictions, or discuss with you any reasons for concern and the next steps you should take.
