Boundary County student athletes are encouraged
to attend the Free Sports Physical Clinic at
Boundary Community Hospital August 6 for the
required physical prior to participating in
Idaho junior high and high school sports.
Boundary Community Hospital’s Medical Staff and
hospital employees are volunteering their time
so youth in Boundary County participating in
sports receive a free physical.
Each year physicals are required for students
who are entering grades 7, 9, 11, and are
participating in any sports including
cheerleading and dance. A physical is also
required of those new to the sports programs,
which includes students in grades 8, 10, and 12
who did not have a physical last year. The
physical must occur before the first practice
starts.
This is a one-night only event. Students are
encouraged to attend.
The Sports Clinic is between the hours of 5 to 7
p.m. on Tuesday, August 6, on a first-come,
first-served basis. It is not required to arrive
at 5 p.m.
Students will travel through six testing
stations and finishing with a quick visit with
the doctor. The visit with the doctor is private
behind closed doors and the weight scales are in
a secluded place.
The sports physical clinic is in the Outpatient
Clinic area of Boundary Community Hospital. Come
in “the back way” to the hospital and enter
through the double doors.
Parents and or guardians must be present with
the student for registration at the Sports
Clinic. A consent form is necessary, with a
parent or guardian signature, as well as the
student’s signature, for approval and
permission. Coaches have the form.
If you have a question, please call Bonners
Ferry High School, (208) 267-3149 or Marcia
Morman, Boundary Community Relations
Coordinator, (208) 267-6912. |
