Any student-athlete obtaining their physical on or after Aug. 1, 2023 must have their doctor sign this version. If an old version of the physical form was used to verify a physical examination conducted prior to Aug. 1, that form is valid as long as it does not expire during the term of that student athlete's participation in Willow Athletics.
