Students participating in athletics at Neoga High School must have a current physical on file with the school nurse. Physicals will be offered at no cost at Neoga High School Tuesday, August 5 from 2-5 p.m. These clinics are offered for athletes and students in Grade 9 to meet the participation or grade level admission requirements. Parents must attend to fill out physical and privacy papers.

A current physical for an athlete may not be more than 395 days old at any time during the sport season. The ninth grade physical also satisfies the athletic physical requirement, if it is current.

No student may participate in practices or contests without a current physical on file. Students who cannot take advantage of these physical clinics offered at school will need to make an appointment with their personal physician for the physical before their chosen sport begins.
