Coupeville cheer boosters to host sports physical night June 10
Whidbey Island athletes can get a required sports physical at Coupeville High School gym on June 10, helping families clear a participation hurdle in one stop.
Whidbey Island families will have a one-night chance to knock out a required step before sports season, as the Coupeville Spirit of Cheer Booster Club hosts a sports physical night June 10 at the Coupeville High School gym.
The event is aimed at Whidbey Island athletes and is built around a simple need: Coupeville Schools requires written evidence of a current sports physical examination before a student can participate in athletic activities. That paperwork must be submitted to the athletic secretary at least one business day before the first practice or competition, so a local physical night can save parents the scramble of finding an appointment elsewhere.
That practical value matters on an island where timing and travel can complicate routine care. The American Academy of Pediatrics says sports physicals are best handled during a routine health supervision visit, but if that is not possible, the preparticipation physical evaluation should be done at least six weeks before the first preseason practice. For families already looking toward summer and fall sports, June 10 gives them a clear date to work with.
The Coupeville athletic department also routes paperwork through FinalForms, and school families can direct questions to Athletic Director Brad Sherman or Athletic Secretary Barbi Ford. Coupeville High School lists participation fees of $50 for each activity and $75 for each sport, with reduced rates available for some students, adding another reason a booster-backed event can ease the cost and logistics around getting into sports.
The Spirit of Cheer Booster Club describes itself as a booster club of Coupeville Cheer alumni supporting the next generation of leaders. That framing fits the club’s approach: not just raising money, but filling a gap that helps students stay eligible and active. The club is also pairing the June physical night with a pancake breakfast at Applebee’s on May 18, continuing a fundraising model it has used before.
Island County Public Health’s Health Resource Hub lists local resources for children’s health, families and physical activity, but a gym-based event in Coupeville can still be the fastest route for busy households trying to check off the athletic clearance list. For students across Whidbey, the June 10 physical night turns a bureaucratic hurdle into one more small piece of school support that keeps participation within reach.
