Before the school year begins, check one more item off your list: your child’s sports physical.

A sports physical helps check your child’s overall health before they take part in school athletics, cheerleading, marching band, camps or other activities. Many schools and recreational leagues require one each year.

CareNow Urgent Care is offering K-12 sports physicals for $35 through Aug. 31, 2026. No appointment needed — just walk in before the school year starts.
