Dear Parents,

Somerset ISD is hosting athletic physicals for our student athletes on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. This event is being supported by Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio and Sports Medicine Associates of San Antonio. The physical exams will be conducted in the Somerset Junior High Gym (transportation provided) starting at 3:30 pm. August Heart will once again be administering FREE Heart Screens for all students ages 14-18.

All Athletics, Dance and Cheer participants are required to have an annual UIL Pre-Participation Medical History and Physical Exam as well as other required UIL forms on file with the Athletic Training Department prior to any practice. In order to accurately provide enough physicians to have all physicals completed within the allotted 2 hours, please complete and return the attached forms along with the suggested $10 cash donation by Monday, May 9th to reserve a spot. Late forms will not be accepted. The other required forms need to be completed online by going to https://www.somersetisd.rankonesport.com.

On the day of the physical, please have your student dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, as well as glasses and/or contacts as needed. If your student has been diagnosed with asthma, a current Asthma Action Plan must be submitted prior to participation.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity as this is the only physical that Somerset ISD will be providing. If you cannot attend this event, please take the attached forms to your child’s personal physician. Please note that annual Well Child Exams are Not Acceptable as sports physicals and only the attached UIL Forms will be accepted.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at (210)750-8958 ext. 6108

Sincerely,

Sean Casey, LAT
