Why Your Child’s Sports Physical Matters and How Aylo Health Makes It Easy
July 22 • 2025
Is your child gearing up for a new sports season? Whether they’re suiting up for soccer, trying out for track, or heading back to the football field, don’t forget one essential step: the sports physical.
A sports physical (also called a pre-participation physical examination) is more than just a box to check on a form, it’s a key way to make sure your child is physically ready to play. At Aylo Health, we’ve made it easier than ever to get it done.
In the video below Alisa Jackson, FNP-C, discusses why sports physicals are important and how easy it is to stay on top of your child’s health.
What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical helps determine whether it’s safe for your child or teen to participate in physical activities. It typically includes:
- A review of your child’s medical history
- A physical exam checking the heart, lungs, joints, and overall health
- A discussion of any injuries, conditions, or concerns related to physical activity
The goal? To catch any health issues early and help prevent injuries during the season.
Here’s the Good News: No Extra Appointment Needed
At Aylo Health, we know your schedule is busy. That’s why we’ve made it simple: we can include your child’s sports physical as part of their annual checkup.
That means:
- Fewer appointments to schedule
- Less time off work or school
- One convenient visit to get your child cleared and ready to play
We’ll make sure your child gets the comprehensive care they need, from preventive health screenings to completing those school-required sports forms.
When Should You Book?
Many schools and sports leagues require sports physical forms to be submitted well before the first practice. Beat the rush by scheduling your child’s annual physical early. Especially before fall sports or the back-to-school season begins.
