Every year our kids have to see the doctor for a physical exam in order to participate in sports. Is this really necessary?
Early detection of potentially serious medical conditions is important in children and teens. Psychosocial issues important to health may also be identified. The physician will pay attention to poor nutrition, family violence, and the use of alcohol and other drugs that must be addressed.

In addition, the physician can play a key role in educating the athlete about ways to prevent injuries. Proper hydration, preseason and in season conditioning, and warm-ups are essential to injury prevention. Players should also be counseled on the use of proper equipment for each sport.
