This is an amazing opportunity for your athletes to renew their physical exams for the upcoming season and have it updated for the next 12 months. This is also a great time for any NEW athletes to complete their pre-participation physical exam prior to the start of their new season.

In an effort to save parents and students time, TOC has provided an updated AHSAA Physical Exam Form that can be accessed from the “Patient” menu at the top of our webpage; followed by clicking on “Forms and Policies”. You are welcome to print it out at your convenience.

We are happy to be able to care for our community and scholastic-athletes through these events and programs, and look forward to serving you this coming Saturday.
