Physical Examination for Sports Participation Update

As we prepare for the start of the 2020-2021 school year, the athletic department wants to provide student-athletes and their families with the most up to date information so they can ensure they meet all requirements for athletic participation. At the most recent IHSA Board of Directors meeting, it was decided that IHSA By-law 2.150, requiring students to have a physical examination every year in order to participate in sports will not be waived.

Therefore, families will need to start coordinating physical examinations for their children if they want to participate in sports within WCUSD #15 this school year. As a reminder, a student-athlete’s physical is good for one year and thirty days (395) from the date of their pervious exam. It is imperative that they get a physical scheduled as soon as possible to ensure that there is not lapse in coverage, and then they will not be able to participate in their desired sport. If you have specific questions regarding the expiration date for your son or daughter’s physical, you can contact their head coach and they can provide you with that information.

If you if have a primary care physician, it is recommended you contact them first for any physical needs. We understand that there are some physicians who may not be currently seeing patients for physicals; if that is the case for your child, you can visit one of the following Springfield Clinic Urgent Care locations and obtain a sports physical for $50.00:

Springfield Clinic Urgent Care Main Campus

1025 South 6^th Street, Springfield, IL

Springfield Clinic Urgent Care West

2200 Wabash Ave, Springfield, IL

Springfield Clinic Urgent Care Sherman

400 St. John’s Drive, Sherman, IL

Springfield Clinic Urgent Care Jacksonville

1000 West Morton Ave, Jacksonville, IL.

We will continue to provide you with information regarding what sports and activities will look like for both the IESA and IHSA for the 2020-2021 school year as they become available. In the meantime, we wish you the best throughout the remainder of the summer and to remember that It’s Always Better to be a Bullet!

Cancellation of 2020 Youth Summer Sport's Camps

Due to the extension of the state at home order for Illinois that was put into place until the end of May, and the uncertain future that COVID-19 continues to put on future large gathers, it is with much regret that the WCUSD #15 Athletic Department has made the decision to not conduct any youth camps during the Summer of 2020. This decision was not made lightly, but the coaching staff does not feel that we will be able to provide the same standard of camps that our campers and the communities of Sherman and Williamsville have become accustom to.

We will continue to monitor the restrictions that are placed upon schools as we move through the Summer and into the Fall, and the athletic department as a whole will continue to make decisions that are both in the best interest of the community at large and each individual athletic program. We appreciate the continued support that you have provided us during these challenging times, has we continue to be Together As One. Please stay safe and remember, It’s Always Better To Be A Bullet!

ILMEA All-State Ensembles

Seven WHS musicians were selected for ILMEA All-State Ensembles this year. This is the highest honor a student-musician can receive in our state. It is only through years of hard work and dedication to musicianship that this highest level of achievement is possible. It is a credit to the students and all of those that support them that they have progressed to this point. They will all participate in a 3-day state festival in late January and perform in ensembles with the best student musicians from around the state. Please help us in offering them congratulations!
