Student-athletes at Chattooga High School and Trion High School will have an opportunity to receive free sports physicals ahead of the upcoming school year.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 2 at 8 a.m. at Atrium Health Floyd Physical Therapy and Rehab, located on Highway 27 in Summerville.

Officials say the annual screening is open to students entering grades 9 through 12 and is required for participation in high school athletics. The physicals will include a review of medical history, vision exams, blood pressure checks, orthopedic screenings, and general sports evaluations.

Students must bring a completed and updated GHSA sports physical form in order to be seen. Parents or guardians are also required to complete and sign all necessary paperwork prior to the appointment.

Organizers say the event helps ensure student-athletes are prepared and cleared for participation while also making the process more accessible for families across Chattooga County and Trion.
