Sports Physicals OrlandoSports Physicals in Orlando – What Parents Need to Know Before the SeasonSports Physicals Orlando

Every year, thousands of young athletes in Orlando gear up for school sports. Before they take the field, a sports physical—also called a pre-participation physical exam (PPE)—is a must. At Windermere Pediatrics, we make the process simple, thorough, and convenient for families.

Why Sports Physicals Are Important

Sports physicals help ensure your child or teen is healthy enough to safely participate in athletics. We check for:

• Heart and lung health
• Joint and muscle strength
• Vision and hearing
• Growth and development milestones
• Past injuries that may need attention

These visits are also a chance for parents to discuss nutrition, sleep, injury prevention, and stress management with our pediatricians.

When Should You Schedule a Sports Physical?

Most schools and athletic organizations in Central Florida require an exam before the new sports season starts. Ideally, schedule the visit at least 4–6 weeks before tryouts to allow time for any follow-up care if needed.

At Windermere Pediatrics, we offer same-day and Saturday morning appointments to make it easier for busy families.
