IHSAA says students who played a sport in 2019/2020 school year will need need a new physical for next year

Hoosier education leaders are already planning ahead for the upcoming school year.

The indiana high school athletic association is looking to give student athletes a hand.

The i-h-s-a-a says students who played a sport in the 20-19 / 20-20 school year will not need a new physical.

The records they have on file will be enough for the upcoming school year.

However, students looking to play a sport for the first time next year will need physicals.

News 10 spoke with vigo county school corporation official bill riley.

He says families need to be making appointments with their healthcare provider right now.

That's because the school corporation will not be offering any of its normal clinics this year.

"if you played a sport in middle school last year you're covered even if you're transferring over to high school.

It's for those students who did not play a sport this year you'll need to go to your doctor and get a physical done."

According to state health department guidelines and the i-h-s-a-a... no sports practices are happening on school grounds right now.

That will last at least through july 1st.
