Fast, convenient, and stress-free pre-participation physicals for your child or teen athlete — so they're cleared and ready before the season starts.
A sports physical — also called a pre-participation physical evaluation (PPE) — is a medical exam required before your child can join school or organized sports. The goal is simple: make sure your young athlete can safely participate, and catch any potential health concerns before the season begins.
At Parkside Kids Clinic of League City, we make sports physicals quick and easy, with caring providers, little to no wait, and personalized attention for every child and teen athlete. We take the time to answer questions, listen to concerns, and help your athlete prepare for a safe and successful season.
We review your child's medical history, medications, allergies, previous injuries, and any concerns related to sports or exercise.
A comprehensive exam covering height, weight, blood pressure, vision, heart and lung evaluation, strength, flexibility, and overall health.
We identify concerns that could affect safe participation and talk through injury prevention, hydration, and overall athlete wellness.
We complete and sign the required school and sports participation forms during your visit, so your athlete is ready for the season.
Tap each item as you pack it so nothing gets left behind on the big day.
Book at least 6 weeks before the season starts. This gives time for any follow-up testing if it's needed — a recommendation echoed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.1
Write down anything you or your child have noticed — pain, past injuries, dizziness, or worries about emotional well-being — so nothing gets forgotten during the visit.
A sports physical is not a substitute for a regular well-child checkup. Your child still needs routine preventive care visits to stay healthy year-round.
How much does a sports physical cost?
We keep pricing simple and transparent with no insurance required. Give us a call and we'll tell you the current price right over the phone.
Do I need a new sports physical every year?
Yes — UIL and most school athletic programs require a new physical every year, even if your athlete had one for the same sport last season.
Can a nurse practitioner perform a sports physical?
Yes. Nurse practitioners are fully qualified to perform pre-participation physical evaluations and complete UIL and school clearance forms.
What ages do you see for sports physicals?
We see school-age kids through young adults — whether it's a first season in youth sports or a senior year on varsity.
With same-day availability, little to no wait, and caring providers, we're here to help your athlete get ready for a safe and successful season. Schedule today!
