CENTRAL CATHOLIC COLUMN Sports physicals offered June 14

On June 14, Allentown Central Catholic High School will provide an opportunity to all students, including incoming freshman, interested in playing a sport during the 2014-2015 academic year to receive their pre-participation sports physical.

The school physical provides students and their families the convenience of not having to schedule a doctor visit and saves them money as well. The required forms are the PIAA pre-participation forms which can be found on the school website under "Athletics." There will be no make-up date.

If a student interested in playing sports is not in attendance, they will need to get the PIAA pre-participation forms filled out by their doctor. Students should arrive dressed in comfortable shorts, T-shirt and sneakers, along with the PIAA pre-participation form with sections one through five completed. The physical takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, consisting of a general medical exam and orthopedic exam completed by trained practitioners. Arrival times and additional information can be found in the May/June parent newsletter available on the school website at acchs.info.

No Central Catholic athletic activity will take place July 27 through Aug. 11. The first official PIAA fall practice date is Aug. 11.

Planning ahead, the first national SAT test date for the 2014-2015 school year is Oct. 11.
