PPE Guidelines:

The DIAA pre-participation physical evaluation and consent form consists of seven pages. Pages two, three and five require a parent’s signature while pages six and seven are references for the parent and student athlete to keep. Page four requires the exam date and physician’s signature and page five requires the clearance to participate date and physician’s signature. The student must be cleared to participate on or after April 1 based on a physical examination conducted within 12 months of the signature. The clearance is valid through June 30 of the following school year unless a re-examination is required.
