We Help Children, Teens, and Adults Safely Engage in Sports

Preferred Urgent Care can perform sports physicals for individuals of any age from Katy, Fulshear, or their surrounding localities. This physical examination assesses whether someone can safely engage in a specific sport. For children and teens engaging in sports at school or as an extracurricular activity, this medical examination is also known as Preparticipation Physical Examination (PPE).

Most schools and sports centers require that school-aged children go through a PPE. A sports physical can be valid for either a calendar or school year. If your child needs a PPE, they usually need to get another one before the next sports season starts. Scheduling a sports physical six weeks before the beginning of a season or other training is helpful because it gives time to address any concerns and provide treatment for minor issues.

At Preferred Urgent Care, our services include free kids' sports physicals and make medical examinations accessible thanks to our extended business hours. You can visit us on a walk-in basis or by appointment seven days a week from 8 am to 9 pm. Our team members speak English and Spanish for your convenience. 

Please note that a sports physical does not replace a standard physical. Although the physical examination portion can be similar, a school, work, or general physical usually involves additional assessments.
