Get your athlete ready to play
Marshfield Clinic sports medicine provides pre-participation sports fitness screenings required by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) for students in organized athletics. Screenings are offered at select locations in late spring and summer. Check this off your list before the season starts!
What this screening does
- Confirms readiness for physical activity as required by the WIAA.
- This screening is general in nature and not a substitute for routine health care with your regular clinician
- Can be completed during a routine well child visit with your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider, if you prefer a one-and-done appointment
