PCHS athletes reminded to take care of paperwork before season begins

With fall sports tryouts approaching, Polk County’s athletic department is asking all student-athletes to take care of two important items before returning from the break.

All athletes should verify their physical examination is current. Physicals are valid for 365 days, and any athlete whose physical has expired will not be eligible to participate in workouts or tryouts until a new one is on file.

Parents or athletes who need to check their expiration date can email athletic trainer Jason Nussbaum at [email protected].

All athletes must also complete the online registration form for the 2026-27 school year before taking part in any workouts or tryouts. The registration form is available at polkschools.org/pchs/athletics.

Taking care of both items now will help ensure a smooth start when fall sports activities begin.
