Athletic Physicals
Exam Requirements
All Woodglen students who are planning to participate in any interscholastic or intramural sport during the school year are required to have a physical examination performed within 365 days prior to the first tryout or practice session.
Medical examinations for candidates for a school athletic squad or team are to be conducted at the student's medical home. As required by N.J.A.C. 6A:16-202(b), student medical examinations must be conducted at the medical home of the student and a full report must be sent to the school. A "medical home" is defined in N.J.A.C. 6A16-1.3 as meaning a health care provider and that provider's practice site chosen by the student's parent or guardian for the provision of health care.
As required by N.J.A.C. 6A16-202 (b), the medical report from the examining physician, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or physician's assistant must include a determination concerning the student's participation. The school physician will provide this examination only for those students who do not have a medical home. This examination will be conducted at his/her office or other appropriately equipped facility.
What to Turn into the School
The State of New Jersey, Department of Education has revised the athletic physical process as well as the required paperwork.
Three separate forms are now required:
These are the new State-approved documents.
All deadlines are posted on the Woodglen Athletics page.
Please remember that interscholastic and intramural soccer, field hockey, and unified soccer begin in September. Physicals must be completed by your child's healthcare provider and returned before the posted deadline.
