Support Athletic Training ... Get a Physical!

The athletic training department is hosting its annual sports physical night on Wednesday, May 14. The cost of a physical is $50 with all of the proceeds going to support Madison's athletic training department. A flyer with details on this important event are available here.

You may not be aware of the fact that the athletic training program is entirely self-supported. FCPS does not fund this vital service to our athletes and students. The importance of our athletic training program was particularly acute this past season during the conference championship meet. Our swimmers were better-prepared to compete and swim their fastest times because of the equipment loaned to us by the ATCs -- and paid for through funds raised during last year's sports physical night.

Not only will you be helping the athletic training program but you will also remove one more headache right before the season starts. All physicals done on the 14th will be valid for the entire 2014-15 school year. So knock off at least one item from your “to do” list in October and sign up for a sports physical on May 14!
