Athletic physicals for current 7-12 grade students will be held from 5:15-6:15 p.m. March 5 at the Fort Dodge Senior High gym. The cost is $15. All 7-12 grade Dodger student-athletes are encouraged to attend.

A sports physical needs to be current and on file in the nurse’s office prior to the first day of practice of the athlete’s sport season. Seniors out for spring/summer sports must have a physical that stays current through the end of their season.

FDSH students can have their pre-workup (height, weight, heart rate and blood pressure) done with the athletic trainer and school nurse during lunch or before or after school March 2-5. FDMS seventh- and eighth-grade students will not have a pre-workup; everything will be completed the night of physicals.

All athletes will receive a physical form. The form is also available at fdschools.org under Athletics near the bottom of the page. The front of the form must be completed and signed by a parent, and brought with the athlete on March 5 for the physical to be completed. Payment by cash or check is also required at this time.

Parents or guardians who need additional information or have questions may contact BreAnn Drees at bdrees@fdschools.org or 574-5825.
