Contact Cannon's Athletic Trainer
These forms, also available on the Back-to-School Center webpage, are good for the entire year and all three seasons of athletics.
Please note, you may utilize your family doctor. However, many health plans prevent a physical from being updated until a twelve-month period has elapsed since the most recent physical. For some athletes, this date occurs in the middle of the season, after this date a 30 day grace period is implemented in order for appointments to be made and the new form being turned in. We highly recommend trying to schedule Athletic Pre-Participation Physicals during the summer months but understand that this is not feasible for all.
