All Physicals must be submitted via a PDF on our website or in person to Coach Anderson and/or Coach Galliher.
VALID DATES & OFFICIAL VSHL PHYSICAL FORM: Physical exams must be dated May 1st or later -- to be valid for the upcoming school year. THEY ALSO MUST BE THE 2025 UPDATED PHYSICAL FORM. THIS CAN BE SEEN ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER OF PAGE 1. Such physicals are valid from May 1st through June 30th of the following year. Only the official VHSL physical form will be accepted.
YES BOXES ON PAGE 2 OF PHYSICAL FORM: For any boxes that are checked YES on page 2 of the VHSL physical form (medical history), please provide an explanation in the area provided on the form. The failure to provide a required explanation will cause the physical to be rejected, and will delay the final clearance decision for your athlete.
NO PHOTOS ACCEPTED: The Athletics Department will not accept photographs of physicals. Physicals must be in the correct format (scanned PDF) in order to be submitted through the online sports registration system. Photographs will cause the physical to be rejected, and will delay the final clearance decision for your athlete.
If your physical file is too large to upload on this registration website, please email a scanned PDF (again, photographs will not be accepted) to Coach Anderson andersonp2@fccps.org AND ATC Coach Vicki Galliher galliherv@fccps.org. Thank you!
