Why Are Physical Exams For Sports Important in Peachtree Corners?
A sports physical (also called a pre-participation physical evaluation, or PPE) is a vital part of your child’s athletic journey. For students in Peachtree Corners—whether playing at Norcross High, Paul Duke STEM, Wesleyan School, or participating in local clubs and travel sports—these exams are required before kids can participate in tryouts, practices, or games. Physicals protect the health of children in Peachtree Corners by identifying potential risks, minimizing injury, and providing required documentation to Gwinnett County schools and organizations.
At One Family Pediatrics, we offer comprehensive, school-approved sports physicals for young athletes from neighborhoods like Peachtree Station, Neely Farm, Riverfield, Berkeley Chase, The Forum/Town Center, and throughout the vibrant Peachtree Corners community.
What Happens During a Sports Physical?
Our pediatricians provide a complete athletic assessment tailored for Peachtree Corners’ active youth:
- Thorough review of health and injury history, medications, and family conditions
- Height, weight, vision, and blood pressure screening
- Heart, lung, and abdominal examination
- Musculoskeletal evaluation: flexibility, posture, joint and muscle strength
- Discussion of safety, nutrition, and training suited to each child’s sport
Please bring the current GHSA or league physical form, immunization records, and any medication/allergy lists to your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can non-patients schedule a sports physical?
Absolutely! We welcome all Peachtree Corners athletes—patients and new families alike.
What paperwork do I bring?
Please bring your school or league’s physical form, insurance information, and a list of all current medications or allergies. If your child wears glasses or contacts, bring those for vision screening.
Will the sports physical count as an annual checkup?
A sports physical is designed to assess athlete readiness, not overall well-being. We can schedule both the physical and annual well check in a single visit for your convenience.
Are urgent or walk-in appointments possible?
We recommend booking ahead but do our best to accommodate last-minute and seasonal needs.
Are separate forms needed for travel or club sports?
Most Peachtree Corners clubs accept the GHSA form, but double-check with your coach or league. We’re happy to meet specific requirements for camps, clubs, or city leagues.
