PIAA Physicals
Any student participating in PIAA sports for Middletown Area School District (MASD) is required to complete a PIAA Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE). The CIPPE form, sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian before the medical provider will examine the student and fill out section 6.
No student will be allowed to participate in athletics during the PIAA season without the entire 6-page CIPPE packet completed. In accordance with the PIAA, physicals cannot be dated by a medical provider earlier than May 1, 2025 and will be effective for the entire school year, until April 30, 2026.
Sections 7 and 8 of the PIAA form are for subsequent sport(s) in the same school year. ANY ATHLETE having a CIPPE exam more than 6 weeks prior to the start of their sports season, should complete the Section 7 form, regardless of whether they played a sport in the previous season. In accordance with the PIAA, the medical staff at MASD will require any athletes with a significant change in their medical history since the time of their initial exam, to have their physician complete the CIPPE Section 8 recertification form. Please read the form CAREFULLY.
PIAA and MASD participation packets can be found under the "Athletic Information" section or in the high school office.
Free Physicals
MASD will host a free PIAA sports physical date for students entering grades 7-12 who will be participating in a fall, winter, or spring PIAA sport through MASD during the 2025-2026 school year. These PIAA physicals are good for the entire school year but can only be used for PIAA sports through MASD. Sports physicals will not be offered again during the year, so if your student is considering playing a sport during the 2025-26 school year, they should attend this event.
● All sports physicals for the 2025-26 school year must be signed and dated AFTER May 1, 2025 and will be effective until April 30, 2026, in accordance with the PIAA.

● Athletes choosing not to attend the free summer PIAA physicals will be responsible for getting a PIAA physical through their own provider.
