A sports physical helps determine whether it's safe for your child to participate in a certain sport. North Dakota requires student-athletes have a sports physical before they can start a new sport (including any practices) or begin a new competitive season. A sports physical is valid for one year in North Dakota.
Please complete and sign the form available online at ndhsaa.com before your appointment and bring a copy with you.
A sports physical can be completed on its own or as part of a well-child/teen visit. Well-child/teen visits are a great time to review your child's health in all areas – growth, cognitive and social development, illness prevention, mental health and more.
Athletes are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Sports physicals are $57.
Appointments are encouraged but not required. Please call (701) 364-7250 to schedule. Students do not need to be a patient of Essentia to attend.
