Make Sure Your Child Is Ready to Hit the Playing Field With a Pre-Participation Sports Screening
At South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, FL, we know that both parents and children stay busy throughout the year. Even during the summer months, your son or daughter may need a pre-participation sports screening before joining a vacation league, going away to camp, or taking part in other athletic activities. And, while he or she may have a few months off from school, you still have work and home responsibilities to meet, and this can present some challenges when it comes to scheduling.
Regardless of the time of year, it can be difficult to get an appointment with your pediatrician for a pre-participation sports screening. You may have to wait several days or weeks for an opening that fits your schedule, and this could result in missed deadlines that affect your child’s participation. It may seem as if your only option is to take a day – or at least a few hours – off.
