INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana
– As summer high school athletic training programs get under way, parents
coaches and athletes need to prepare for the new guidelines regarding sports
physicals. All pre-participation exams must be completed by licensed physicians
as required by the Indiana High School Athletic Association.
Franciscan St. Francis Health Sports
Medicine wants young athletes to get off to a good start and is offering a
clinic Saturday, May 14. The clinic is from 9 a.m. to noon and is located at the hospital’s Indianapolis
campus (5255 E. Stop 11 Road, Suite 301).
No family doctor? No problem. A

ages of 14 and 18.
The cost is $15 per athlete (cash
or check only). Exams are by appointment only and may be made by calling
