- What is an Athletic Trainer? We provide the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions
- Who are Athletic Trainers? Highly trained, multi-skilled healthcare professionals who render service or treatment, under the direction of or in collaboration with a physician, in accordance with their education, training and the state’s statutes, rules and regulations.
- Athletic trainers are sometimes confused with personal trainers. There is, however, a large difference in the education, skillset, job duties and patients of an athletic trainer and a personal trainer. The athletic training academic curriculum and clinical training follows the medical model. Athletic trainers must graduate from an accredited baccalaureate or master’s program.
- All of this information, and more regarding Athletic Trainers can be found on the NATA website.

PIAA Physical and Registration Packet
Physical Sign Up Sheet
Additional Information:
-
The school district will offer a free session to get your sports physicals done at Vineyard Primary Care on Saturday, May 31st, in the morning. We have created an individual sign-up sheet with time slots you can pick on your own. They are first-come, first serve.
- Who needs a sports physical? Anyone who wishes to participate in a school sport during the 2025-26 school year. The PIAA requires a new physical that is dated no earlier than May 1st, 2025. So any child who has had a physical recently will need a new one after May 1st.
- What sports require a physical for grades 7 and 8? Football, Cross Country, and Girls Basketball (Fall Sports), Wrestling and Boys' Basketball (Winter Sports). Volleyball, Track & Field, and Soccer (Spring Sports).
- What sports require a physical for Grades 9-12? Football, Soccer, Golf, Volleyball, Cross Country, and Cheerleading. Basketball, Swimming & Diving, Cheerleading, Unified Bocce, and Wrestling (Winter Sports). Track & Field, Baseball, and Softball (Spring Sports).
SCHOOL PHYSICALS ARE NOT THE SAME AS SPORTS PHYSICALS - YOU MUST GET THE PIAA PACKET IN THE LINK ABOVE.
If you plan on playing a sport in 2025-26 and cannot attend the free session by the district, you will need to take the packet to your own doctor at your own convenience. Packets are available in the schools, or you can print your own above. Physicals must be dated after May 1st and are due two weeks prior to your child's first practice. It's strongly advised to get physicals done early and turned in at the athletic office to avoid any delays to your child's participation. I also strongly advise you do not to accept physical packets that the doctor's office will give you. They do not have the most updated versions, and this often leads to having to do the paperwork over again for the parents.
Tickets for all post-season competitions are available by pre-sale ONLY
