What Are School and Sports Physicals?
School and sports physicals, sometimes formally called pre-participation physical exams (PPE), help to identify if it's safe for a child or teen to participate in physical activities in or outside of school. At North Dallas Primary Care Doctors, we recognize the importance of staying active and doing so in a way that is healthy and suitable for each individual's body. That's why we offer school and sports physicals for children, from grade school through their senior year. If you live in Frisco, TX, or the surrounding area, schedule an appointment at our office to prepare your child for the field.
How Is A School or Sports Physical Performed?
A school or sports physical doesn't go as in-depth as a traditional yearly physical, and it's not to be confused with a yearly checkup. The primary objective of a school or sports physical is to get an overall idea of your child's medical history and physical fitness level only as it relates to sports. At this time, one of our physicians will review their medical history, including sports-related injuries, diabetes, or any other medical condition that could prevent your child from actively participating in physical activities. Once these items have been discussed, we can determine if your child is ready and able to play sports.
What Are the Benefits of School and Sports Physicals?
School and sports physicals administered at North Dallas Primary Care Doctors in Frisco, TX not only allow children to participate in extracurricular activities, but they also give parents and medical practitioners valuable information about a child's health so they can be their healthiest in the future — on the field, in the band, or anywhere else. Benefits of school and sports physicals include:
- Identifying any chronic conditions or illnesses
- Verifying that a child is healthy enough to participate in physical or taxing activities
- Checking if a child may be at increased risk of injury
- Suggesting proper treatment if an issue is found
- Peace of mind for parents or other guardians

I was impressed with his care and interest in my granddaughter’s care. We took her to see him for the flu and it was her first visit. He took time to understand her health history.
