Specialty Primary Care & Wellness provides school physicals for children and teenagers in The Colony, Texas, and nearby communities, including Frisco, Plano, Little Elm, Lewisville, and Carrollton. Contact our clinic to schedule your child’s physical before school, sports, or activity deadlines.

A school physical typically includes a review of the student’s medical history, medications, allergies, previous injuries, height, weight, blood pressure, vision, heart, lungs, joints, strength, and overall physical health. The exam helps determine whether the student can safely participate in school and physical activities.

A school physical evaluates a student’s general health and readiness for school activities. A sports physical, also called a preparticipation physical evaluation, focuses more specifically on whether the student can safely participate in athletics. Requirements may vary by school district or athletic program.

Many Texas schools require students to complete a preparticipation physical evaluation before participating in athletics or marching band. Requirements can differ by grade, activity, and school district, so parents should confirm the current rules with their child’s school or coach.

Please bring the school or UIL physical form, a list of current medications, allergy information, relevant medical records, and details about previous injuries or medical conditions. If your child uses glasses, contact lenses, an inhaler, a brace, or another medical device, bring it to the appointment.
