Under UIL guidelines, all incoming 7th, 9th, and 11th grade students for the 2024-25 school year are required to undergo a sports physical if they plan on participating in ANY school sponsored sport. Also included are any students in the 8th, 10th or 12th grade who suffered an injury that required surgery within the last year. Here is a great opportunity from Wilbarger General Hospital to get that sports physical for free. Vernon ISD athletes need to pick up the sports physical paperwork from their coaches or trainer Brian Weatherly.
