According to the PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association), all sport physicals for the 2024 - 2025 school year must be performed ON OR AFTER JUNE 1, 2024.  Only 1 physical is needed for the entire school year, provided no physical changes occur to the student-athlete. 

You may sign up for a school physical or arrange for a physical on your own.  Regardless of your choice to obtain a physical, the physical forms can be picked up in the main office at the high school or they can be downloaded directly below.

Health information and physical paperwork from your doctor is now collected on our digital platform at Form RELeaf to simplify forms and compliance.  You can access all the information and forms you need to record your doctor visit and upload your paperwork for Kennett Consolidated School District in this section of the website.
