IHSAA Pre-Participation Physical Form
The IHSAA Pre-participation Physical Evaluation (PPE) is the first and most important step in providing for the well-being of Indiana’s high school athletes. The form is designed to identify risk factors prior to athletic participation by way of a thorough medical history and physical examination. The IHSAA, under the guidance of the Indiana State Medical Association’s Committee on Sports Medicine, requires that the PPE Form be signed by a physician (MD or DO) holding an unlimited license to practice medicine, a nurse practitioner (NP) or a physician assistant (PA). In order to assure that these rigorous standards are met, both organizations endorse the following requirements for completion of the PPE Form:
1. The most current version of the IHSAA PPE Form must be used and may not be altered or modified in any way.
