What is new with Athletic Physicals?
Beginning June 1, 2008, the PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) is requiring all member schools to have a comprehensive physical examination for any athlete wishing to participate in interscholastic athletics. The PIAA has always required a pre-participation physical, but beginning with the 2008-09 school year, a new mandatory CIPPE (Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation) form is required for completion.
