July 28, 2010
Osceola Medical Center is again sponsoring athletic screenings for Wisconsin and Minnesota students interested in sports and cheerleading for the 2010-2011 school year. The 18th annual Athletic Screening Day is July 28 from 4 to 8 p.m. in the Rehabilitation Services Department at Osceola Medical Center.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association and Minnesota State High School League require athletic screenings or physical exams for students to participate in sanctioned athletic activities, every two years for Wisconsin students and every three years for Minnesota. Eligible students are those entering grades seven through 12.
The Athletic Screening Day at OMC includes flexibility testing, athletic screening, heart rate recovery and vision screening. A representative from Osceola Schools will also be on hand to talk about athletic activities, especially fall sports.
Sports physicals are available from your regular health care provider at any time prior to the start of each sport’s season. However, this screening day has been set aside to conveniently pull together health care providers, physical therapists and school representatives for screenings and informational opportunities for student athletes and their parents.
As in the past, OMC will donate the $15 screening fee to the athletic programs at Osceola Schools. Registration for the screening days is required. Space is limited for this day and is expected to fill quickly. For registration information, contact OMC Rehabilitation Services directly at 715-294-3500. Information is also available at the Osceola Middle School and High School.
