Athletic Physicals Given to Student Athletes

The Cabot Athletic Department in conjunction with the Cabot Public Schools Athletic Training Department, school nurses, Harding University Physician Assistant Program, and coaches provided more than 800 student athletes with their Pre-Participation Exam/athletic physicals on May 19 & 20.

The physicals consisted of: musculoskeletal screenings, vital signs screenings, and height and weight measurements of our student athletes.

The very first and most important aspect in providing our student athletes with appropriate athletic healthcare is providing them with a thorough Pre-Participation Exam (P.P.E). The National Federation of High School Sports along with the Arkansas Activities Association mandates that every athlete must have an annual P.P.E as part of their eligibility requirements for athletics. The exams were provided at no charge to our parents/athletes of Cabot Public Schools.

We would like to say thank you to everyone who that helped make this event a success.
