Sports physicals are usually required to be performed once a year or before your child’s sports season is set to begin. It is recommended that your child obtains their physical around 6 weeks before the sports season begins, because it gives adequate time to address any issues that may come up. Cutting it to close to the first practice could prevent your child from playing and may cause them to miss a significant amount of time. As a reminder for active families and individuals, NextCare is the place to go for convenient, affordable sports physicals with no appointment required.  Our caring and compassionate staff is also here to help with any minor breaks, sprains, cuts or pains that go on throughout a sports season.
