While a visit to the clinic might not be at the top of your summer fun list, knocking out this quick check-up now means no last-minute panic before the season starts. Avoid the scramble and get your child game-ready before the whistle blows!
Summer is almost here, which means sunshine, lake days, and… sports physicals. Yep, you read that right!
Why a Sports Physical Now?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have a sports physical at least 6-8 weeks before the season begins. If specialty appointments are needed, this timeline gives you plenty of time to schedule those so your kiddo is ready to hit the ground running.
An early appointment also helps avoid delays in getting cleared to play the sport. Waiting until the week before tryouts is a rookie mistake that could even take your child out of the game!
Here’s why you should book a sports physical now instead of sweating it later:
- Beat the back-to-school rush—Summer has a way of making everyone procrastinate, which can lead to delays.
- More appointment availability – Get into the clinic when it works for you without compromising your schedule to accommodate a last-minute visit.
- Peace of mind – Make sure your child is healthy to play next season and enjoy their summer worry-free.
