Sport Physicals

Effective Summer 2025:
The Panther Valley athletics department will be utilizing Student Central for PIAA physicals!
ALL students must create an account on Student Central to begin.

Quick Tips: 

1. A parent/guardian must create an account
2. The student-athlete must also create an account using a different e-mail address than their parent/guardian. 
3. Accounts can be created on a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop/desktop device. 
4. When going for a sport physical, you only need to bring sections 5 and 6 with you.

_________________________________________________________

Student-athletes wishing to participate in a PIAA sport/activity must have a sports physical prior to completion. The PIAA requires that students need to receive a sports physical on an annual basis.


Information & Support:

1. For assistance with creating an account on Student Central, please click here.
2. All CIPPE forms must be complete and submitted prior to participation in sport.
3. Unable to make a St. Luke's Sports Medicine physicals' event? You can visit a St. Luke's Care Now center for a PIAA sport physical for $25! Care Now centers are located in Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, and Tamaqua!
4. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to UPLOAD a completed physical for their student to Big Teams in order for them to participate in a Panther Valley sport. 

Frequently Asked Questions:
