Athletic Physicals – Monday, August 11th

Physicals are scheduled for the morning of Monday, August 11th. Grand View will provide transportation to NEO Health for all athletes needing a physical.

Required paperwork will be handed out to athletes on Thursday, August 7th. These forms must be completed, signed by a parent/guardian, and returned to the athletic department before August 11th.
