• Physical Education

Physical Education:

• A planned, sequential K-12 curriculum that provides cognitive content and learning experiences in a variety of activity areas such as basic movement skills; physical fitness; rhythms and dance; games; team, dual, and individual sports; tumbling and gymnastics; and aquatics.

• Quality physical education should promote, through a variety of planned physical activities, each student’s optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social development, and should promote activities and sports that all students enjoy and can pursue throughout their lives. Qualified, trained teachers teach physical activity.

Pre-Participation Sports Physicals, Rule

0520-1-3-.08 Pupil Personnel Services, Requirement G The school health services program shall include but not be limited to the

following:

• (a) Every child entering school for the first time shall have a physical examination. A doctor of medicine, osteopathic physician, physician assistant, certified nurse practitioner, or a properly trained public health nurse shall perform this examination. No child shall be admitted to school without proof of immunization except those who are exempt by statute as provided in T.C.A. 49-6-5001.

• (b) Every student participating in interscholastic athletics shall have an annual physical examination. A doctor of medicine, osteopathic physician, physician assistant, certified nurse practitioner, properly trained public health nurse, or registered nurse who has received specialized training as defined by the Tennessee Department of Health shall perform this examination. Additionally, examinations of students in the 7th and 9th grades who participate in interscholastic athletics shall be reported using the “Interscholastic Sports Examination Form” developed by the Tennessee Department of Health.

Update Regarding Proposed Sports Physical Rule Change for 7th and 9th

Graders• There has been a delay in the process of moving forward with the proposed rule

change regarding sports physicals for 7th and 9th graders. In the meantime, the State Board of Education still recommends that 7th and 9th grade athletes get the well-child checkup/EPSDT screen. Until the rule-making process is complete, however, either exam (the traditional sports physical or the comprehensive well-child checkup/EPSDT screen) will be accepted by the State Board of Education and by TSSAA.

• The Interscholastic Sports Examination Form is the only form needed for these students. TSSAA is accepting this form for these students (and TSSAA will accept this form for students in any other grade as well). Although the comprehensive EPSDT/well-child checkup is recommended, it is not required that athletes have this box checked on their clearance form.

“If schools do not deal with children’s health by design they deal with it by default.”
