Physical Paperwork

The pre-participation physical exam, also known as the sports physical, ideally will be conducted by the student’s primary HCP in the medical home. The medical eligibility form must be reviewed and approved by the school physician before the student starts practice or participates in the sport. Physicals are valid for 365 days.

The completed history and physical exam form should be maintained by the HCP completing the physical exam. It does not need to be shared with the school. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:40-41.7. If a student’s PPE was completed more than 90 days prior to the first day of official practice in an athletic season, a health history update questionnaire is required.

The preparticipation physical exam must be conducted by a HCP who is a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse or physician assistant and completed the student athlete cardiac assessment professional development module developed by the NJDOE.

Impact Testing

In order to be eligible for athletics, each student athlete must complete the computerized baseline ImPACT test. This is mandatory. Student athletes must take this test during their 9th and 11th grade years, if they are a new transfer, or new to athletics.

ImPACT is an FDA cleared online tool for baseline and post-injury testing. It measures visual and verbal memory, reaction time, and processing speed to help determine if a patient (ages 12-80) can safely return to activity.

Student athletes will be contacted by the Athletic Trainer, Matt McKowen, via VTSD email address with information on how to complete the test prior to the season.
