Sports Physicals Available at Our Walk-In Clinics
Team sports provide many benefits for participants, especially children and teens. These activities help young people get exercise, build teamwork skills and, develop healthy habits. For safety reasons, many of these group activities require participants to have sports physicals before they can play. Scheduling these appointments can be challenging for busy parents who must take time off work to take their children to their pediatrician’s office or primary care provider’s office during regular weekday hours.
Springfield Urgent Care helps busy parents get signed school sports physical forms quickly and affordably. Walk in after school or on weekends — no appointment needed — and get an affordable sports physical along with the signed forms your child needs for participation, all in a single visit.

What to Expect During the Sports Physical Exam
A certified provider will conduct your sports physical at Springfield Urgent Care. They will review your completed health forms and discuss your child’s medical history, including any past illnesses, injuries, medications, or ongoing health concerns. Our friendly medical team will record your child’s height and weight and check vital signs. Then your provider will conduct a physical exam. Most sports physicals are completed in under 30 minutes, and you’ll leave with all necessary paperwork signed and ready for submission.
After the exam, your healthcare provider will determine whether your child can safely participate without restrictions or if additional evaluation, treatment, or precautions are recommended. In some cases, your child may need treatment for an injury or medical condition before participating, so we recommend scheduling physicals a few weeks before team activities begin. Bring your school or MHSAA form, your child’s glasses or contacts if they wear them and a list of medications they take.
