PIAA regulations governing interscholastic athletics require student athletes to undergo proper medical examination prior to their participation.  The Central Bucks School District requests that all student athletes be seen by their family physician. The school physician will continue to monitor our athletic teams but will no longer be the primary physician conducting sports physicals. The school physician will provide physical examinations for students in need of financial assistance.

Students who wish to participate in PIAA sports must obtain a Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Examination (CIPPE)_ Form from the athletic office or on-line at www.cbsd.org or www.piaa.org.  The parent/guardian and the student's personal care physician should complete the CIPPE form.  The form must be returned to the school prior to the start of the athletic season.  The CIPPE form is valid for one (1) academic year, June 1st - May 31st.

If a student participates in multiple sports during the same school year, the student-athlete's parents will need to complete Section 5 of the CIPPE form (Re-certification portion) prior to the start of a new season.  A physician's signature is not required for re-certification unless the student-athlete has suffered a serious injury/illness that caused the student to 1) Miss ten or more days of school; 2) Miss 50% or more of games/contests; 3) Suffered a season-ending injury.

Students athletes must also submit the last page of the Student Handbook, the Blue Emergency and Medical form, the Green Eligibility form and the Yellow HIPPA form to participate in athletics.

If you have any questions or concerns about these requirements, please contact the school's athletic department.  Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

All required forms can be picked up in the Main Office or Outside the Athletic Office.  Required forms are also available online at www.cbsd.org.
