Usually not. This depends on how long it has been since the student’s exam. If it has only been a few months, and their health care provider feels comfortable filling out the sports clearance form, then the student will probably not need another complete exam. However, the health care provider may want the student to come back in or talk with the family by phone to check on those health aspects related directly to sports participation. The sports clearance form must be filled out in order for the student to be eligible to participate in sports.
