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, 5 and 6 must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian before the medical provider will examine the student and fill out section 7. No student will be allowed to participate in athletics during the PIAA season without the entire 7-page CIPPE packet completed. In accordance with the PIAA, physicals cannot be dated by a medical provider earlier than June 1, 2023 and will be effective for the entire school year, until May 31, 2024. Sections 8 and 9 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 8 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 9 recertification form. Please read the form CAREFULLY.
