Ochsner sports physicals are available at no charge for Willow athletes in grades 5-12 tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 19, at 10:30am at Ochsner Elmwood, Building B. No one arriving after 11am will be admitted. Bring the below linked LHSAA form, signed by a parent/guardian. This event is optional but current physicals are required for all Willow athletes. *Important* The LHSAA revised their physical form in May 2023. 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.
