17TH ANNUAL ATHLETIC SCREENING DAY
July 29
4 - 8 p.m.
Osceola Medical Center, with support from Osceola Schools and coaches, is again sponsoring athletic screenings for students interested in sports and cheerleading for the 2009-2010 school year. The 17th annual Athletic Screening Day is in the Rehabilitation Services Department at the new Osceola Medical Center.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body of interscholastic athletic programs in the state, requires a physical every two years for students to participate in sanctioned athletic activities. Eligible students are those entering grades seven through 12.
The Athletic Screening Day 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, Osceola Medical Center 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 the OMC Rehabilitation Department directly at 715-294-3500. Information is also available at the Osceola Middle School and High School.
