Get Cleared. Stay Active. Be Ready for Your Season.

Eclipse Wellness provides sports physicals for youth and collegiate athletes in Wilmington, Delaware. Our evaluations help identify health concerns that may affect athletic participation and provide the documentation needed for many sports programs.

Whether your child is preparing for a school sports season or you are a collegiate athlete getting ready to compete, our team can help make the process straightforward.

Sports Physicals for Young Athletes and College Competitors

A sports physical, also known as a pre-participation physical evaluation (PPE), is designed to assess whether an athlete is physically prepared to participate in sports.

At Eclipse Wellness, we take the opportunity to review your overall health, discuss any concerns, and identify factors that may need additional attention before you participate.

Youth Sports Physicals

We provide sports physicals for children and teenagers participating in school, recreational, and organized sports.

A youth sports physical may include a review of:

  • Medical history
  • Previous injuries
  • Current medications
  • Allergies
  • Family medical history
  • Heart and lung health
  • Musculoskeletal concerns
  • Other health factors relevant to athletic participation


Collegiate Sports Physicals

College athletes may have specific health documentation and physical requirements before participating in collegiate athletics.

Eclipse Wellness can provide sports physical evaluations for collegiate athletes and help you complete the required medical documentation based on your school's or athletic program's requirements.

When Should I Schedule a Sports Physical?

Don't wait until the first practice or game.

Sports physical requirements and deadlines can vary by school, athletic organization, or college program. We recommend scheduling your appointment early enough to allow time for any additional evaluation that may be needed.

Before your appointment, check with your school or athletic program to confirm which forms and requirements you need.

What Should I Bring to My Appointment?

To help your appointment go smoothly, bring:

  • Any required school or athletic forms
  • A list of current medications
  • Information about allergies
  • Relevant medical records, if available
  • Information about previous injuries or surgeries
  • Eyeglasses or contact lenses, if applicable

If your school or athletic program has a specific physical form, bring it with you so your provider can complete the appropriate documentation.

What If a Health Concern Is Identified?

A sports physical is more than a form-signing appointment.

If your provider identifies a health concern, previous injury, or other issue that may require additional attention, they can discuss the appropriate next steps with you.

Depending on the situation, this may include additional evaluation, treatment, or referral.

The goal is to help athletes understand their health and participate as safely as possible.
