Question: Our school says we have to have a physical before we are allowed to play on a sports team. My parents always say they don't have time to take me and that means the coach won't let me play even though I made the team. Is it illegal to let kids play sports just because they don't have a physical?

Answer: It is legal, and in fact the school is protecting itself, to require you to have a physical before engaging in a sports activity. See if you can find someone else to take you to the doctor, or explain to your parents how important it is to you. If they won't take you and you can't get the physical, you can't play.
