If they do not have a valid physical on file, they will be sent home. Physical forms can be downloaded at this link or from https://il.8to18.com/OakLawnCommunityHS/ under the “Resources” section. Updated physical forms can be hand delivered to the athletic office, emailed to our athletic office staff, or turned in at check-in for tryouts.
