Vision Exam:
The State of New Jersey requires that a vision exam and vision exam results be documented on the Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form. Please make sure your physician completes a vision exam and documents the results on the form. If your child sees an eye doctor/eye professional instead and has an exam elsewhere, that eye examiner must document the vision exam results on office stationary and you should attach it to the Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form. You may use the Vision Exam Results Form here if you need to attach results from an eye specialist.
This form includes a History Form to be completed by the parent or guardian; a Supplemental History Form for Students with Special Needs; a Physical Examination Form; and a Clearance Form to be completed by the examining physician, advanced practice nurse (APN) or physician assistant (PA). The form must be completed and based on an exam that took place with 365 days of the FIRST practice/tryout date. No forms will be accepted after the posted deadline.
