The Yorktown Athletic Training Department will be conducting its annual sports physicals on Thursday, June 13th.

This is a great opportunity for all of our YHS student-athletes to have their VHSL-mandated sports physicals performed ‘in house’ by our Team Physicians and staff,… A quick and easy way to get it done early! All funds go towards the medical needs of our student-athletes and for the betterment of the Yorktown Athletic Training Program.

This event is by appointment only and slots do go fast. The sports physical fee is $30 (personal check/cash to Yorktown HS Athletic Training). Please contact Bruce Ferratt, ATC or Emily Darnell, ATC at (o) 703-228-5421 or bruce.ferratt@apsva.us for an appointment.
