MHSAA Physical Examination Policy

Every student athlete must have a current physical examination form on file in the athletic office. The M.D., D.O., physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner that administers the physical examination must sign this form. A current physical is defined as any examination given on or after April 15 of the previous school year.

No student may practice or compete with a Greenhills athletic team or be issued uniforms or equipment until a completed physical is on file. If a physical has been submitted for other purposes, a photocopy of that document is satisfactory. Although Greenhills does provide a blank form for the evaluation, any properly completed form (e.g. from a summer camp, from another school) will meet the requirement.

Please note that the MHSAA penalty to the school for allowing a student to participate in a contest without having a current, signed physical on file is a forfeit. But of far greater concern is the risk to a student if they have not been cleared for physical activity.
