At its regular meeting on April 21, the KHSAA Board of Control adopted policy changes including emergency changes to the bylaws and policies of the KHSAA related to football practice.

04/20/15 – Updated Physical History and Exam, Permission Forms Posted

Track and Field Blog Updates

Thanks to great work by various groups, we are able to get revised physical and permission forms online a couple of weeks early this year as many of you plan for next year. All old forms that have been completed remain valid for the one year plus one month period from the date of administration as specified in the KHSAA Handbook, but any new exam should utilize the new form.

The Physical Form (both history and physician exam) forms have been separated from the permission form. This is after considerable requests from the membership due to the burden of middle school students taking the same physical and using it in different situations, both middle school students playing intra-middle school and those middle school students playing ‘up” to the high school level in permitted sports. The forms are now divided into three different forms:
