BPS Athletics, in conjunction with Mass General Brigham Sports Medicine is hosting the 5th Annual BPS Pre Participation Physical Exam Event at the Mandela Building (Building 4) at Madison Park and O’Bryant on Saturday May 16th from 8am-1pm.

A valid physical exam is required for all students to participate in athletics at Boston Public Schools. Although this event does not replace the annual physical a student athlete gets from their provider, this event offers BPS student athletes the opportunity to be cleared for the entirety of the 2026-2027 school year, as well as complete their required DocuSign consent paperwork. This event allows for the student athletes to be cleared to participate in athletics prior to the start of their seasons, without having to worry about getting a copy of a valid physical.
