Athletes need to be in top physical form to play junior high and high school sports. The first step is to make sure they have a physical exam. Physicals are mandatory for anyone interested in participating in athletics at any level at Italy High School.

Incoming 7th graders, 9th graders and 11th graders who are planning to participate in Gladiators’ athletics during the 2011-2012 school year will all need to have a physical.

Physicals must be turned in to coaches no later than the first day of volleyball and football 2-a-days practices beginning on Monday, August 1, even if the athlete is playing a separate sport further into the school year.

The necessary medical forms have been included with this article.

Good luck to all the IJHS and IHS Lady Gladiator and Gladiator student-athletes as they each prepare for what is sure to be another exciting year in Italy Athletics!

Go Italy!
