Yuma Union High School District Announces Free Sports Physicals July 31
Yuma Union High School District and Onvida Health will provide free sports physicals on July 31 to support student-athletes for the upcoming year.
Event Details and Collaboration
The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) has partnered with Onvida Health to host a community event offering no-cost sports physicals. This initiative aims to remove financial barriers for students preparing to participate in school-sanctioned athletic programs.
Scheduled for July 31, the event provides a vital service for families requiring medical clearance for their children to compete in various sports. By coordinating with local healthcare providers, the district ensures that student-athletes can meet mandatory safety and health requirements before the season begins.
Supporting Student-Athlete Health
Sports physicals are a standard requirement for most high school athletic departments to ensure that students are physically capable of participating in rigorous activities. These examinations typically assess cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal integrity, and general wellness to prevent injuries during competition.
The partnership between the school district and Onvida Health highlights a shared commitment to community wellness and student success. Providing these services at no cost allows more students to access organized sports, which are often linked to improved academic performance and social development.

Families planning to attend should keep the following considerations in mind:
- Date: July 31
