TSSAA SPORTS PHYSICALS
If you are involved in any competitive sports sponsored by the TSSAA, you must have a physical exam before being allowed to participate. These physicals must be done after May 1st of each year. At this visit, the immunizations are reviewed, a blood pressure analysis is done, and complete physical exam follows.
There is a TSSAA form required with each physical. You may print out this form and bring in with you, having completed the parent portion.

ANNUAL PHYSICALS
When your child turns 2 years of age, we recommend that he/she receive a yearly check up. At these visits your doctor will address developmental milestones, review all immunizations, and do a physical examination. At the yearly check up we also do a urine test to evaluate kidney function and screening for anemia. At age 3 we begin vision and hearing screenings along with the developmental milestones and physical examination.
