CHANGES TO VHSL PHYSICAL
Legislation introduced in the Virginia General Assembly and recently signed into law will result in two significant changes to the athletic pre-participation examination (physical) requirements for FCPS student-athletes:
- Beginning July 1, 2025, athletic physicals will be considered valid for a period of 14 months from the date the form is signed by the medical provider completing the exam. This is the date on page 3 of the VHSL Athletic Participation/Parent Consent/Physical Examination Form (revised January 2021).
- Beginning May 1, 2025, athletic physicals SHOULD be completed on the new VHSL Athletic Participation/Parental Consent/Evaluation Form (revised April 2025).
- Link to that form on our website: VHSL Physical
- Pages 1, 2 and 3 are mandatory. Please consider turning in all 6 pages so we are aware of your student’s medical history.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the TJ Sports Physical event or changes to the VHSL PPE form, please reach out to Head Athletic Trainer, Dr. Heather Murphy: HRMurphy@fcps.edu
