State Board of Education rules and Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) rules
require that any child, regardless of age, who participates in interscholastic sports, must have an annual
physical exam before participating.
Examinations of students who participate in interscholastic athletics shall be reported using the “Preparticipation Physical Evaluation and Consent for Athletic Participation Form”. The sports clearance
form may be completed any time after April 15. The form can be obtained by a health care provider or by
going to the Knox County Schools website.
Children not covered by private or public health insurance can consult with the local health department for a health maintenance exam.
