Physicals are a required component for athletes who wish to participate in competitive sports. They help:

• Screen for diseases
• Assess for risk factors predisposing athletes to other medical conditions
• Maintain up-to-date vaccinations

Pre-participation examinations (PPE) are required to play in BRSC's Competitive Program. Physicals must be turned in by the specified date provided by BRSC staff. Physicals performed by a player’s primary care physician or urgent care facility must submit their form on PlayMetrics. Physicals must be turned in by the specified time provided by BRSC staff.

Once a year, BRSC conducts an annual pre-participation exam/physical day (PPE Day) in July for free for all competitive players. The free PPE is a service by BROC & BRSC to assist athletes who cannot complete their physical through their primary care physician, do not have a physician, or do not have insurance. Physicals performed by a player’s primary care physician or urgent care facility must have their physical form(s) turned in to the Director of Sports Medicine, Santana Ruíz, by the BRSC PPE date. Physicals must be turned in by the specified time provided by BRSC staff.

If you are new to the competitive program, you must bring a copy of your birth certificate to the PPE day.

Physicals will be free of charge. Parents/Guardians or athletes MUST bring the BRSC Pre-Participation Examination (PPE) form FILLED OUT to their team's designated physicals time. Due to time constraints, if the PPE form is complete, that athlete will be put at the back of the line. The player's physical will take place when there is available time/staff.
