NCAA Rule
Regarding Athletic Physicals
(Bylaw 17.1.5) Mandatory Medical
Examination. Prior to participation in any
practice, competition or out-of-season conditioning activities (or,
in Division I, permissible voluntary summer conditioning in
basketball and football or voluntary individual workouts pursuant
to the safety exception), student-athletes who are beginning their
initial season of eligibility and students who are trying out for a
team shall be required to undergo a medical examination or
evaluation administered or supervised by a physician (e.g., family
physician, team physician). The examination or evaluation must be
administered within six months prior to participation in any
practice, competition or out-of-season conditioning activities. In
following years, an updated history of the student-athlete’s
medical condition shall be administered by an institutional medical
staff member (e.g., sports medicine staff, team physician) to
determine if additional examinations (e.g., physical,
cardiovascular, neurological) are required.
The updated history must be administered within six months prior
to the student-athlete’s participation in any practice,
competition or out-of-season conditioning activities for the
applicable academic year. (Adopted: 1/8/07 effective
