Physical Examinations
Students participating in athletic activities for St. Ursula
Academy are required to undergo a physical examination
pursuant to the regulations of the Ohio High School Athletic
Association (OHSAA). Physical examinations are valid for
one year from the date of the exam. A student in grades 9
through 12, participating in a school sport, is required to
have the Pre-participation Physical Examination Form
properly signed by a physician, by the participant, and by the
parent or guardian each year.
To guarantee each athlete is able to participate in try-
outs for any season, we recommend that physical forms
are returned to the athletic office by July 1.
