As we start to gear up for the next sports season, many Texas families start checking off their back-to-school and activity to-do lists early. One of the most important items is a sports or camp physical and yearly check-up. At Urgent Care for Kids, we make this process simple, affordable, and convenient for busy families.

What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical (also called a pre-participation physical exam) helps ensure your child is healthy and ready to safely participate in sports, physical activities, and other extracurriculars. During the visit, a provider reviews your child’s medical history and performs a physical exam to identify any potential concerns.
Why Does My Child Need One?
Many schools and sports leagues require a sports physical before participation. Beyond meeting requirements, it’s also an important safety step. A sports physical can help:
- Detect underlying health conditions that could affect performance or safety
- Identify past injuries that may need extra care
- Ensure your child is physically prepared for the demands of their sport
The Benefits of a Yearly Check-Up
While a sports physical focuses on participation readiness, a yearly check-up goes further by supporting your child’s overall health and development. These visits help:
- Track growth and developmental milestones
- Keep vaccinations up to date
- Address concerns like nutrition, sleep, or behavior
- Build a relationship with a trusted provider
Combining a sports physical with a yearly check-up ensures your child is fully supported—both on and off the field.
Affordable & Flexible Options
We offer straightforward options to fit your family’s needs:
- Sports Physical ONLY: $35
