MOS Pass to Play Event Registration Now Open
|
|
|
The Fifth Annual Pass to Play event will be hosted by Muir Orthopaedic Specialists on Saturday, July 29, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, at 2625 Shadelands Dr. in Walnut Creek. The event will consist of an orthopedic, neurocognitive and cardiac pre-participation screen.
The cardiac portion will have an EKG, review of personal and family history with a physician and an echocardiogram if needed all on the same day. This enables the physicians to rule out any abnormalities which may not be seen from routine exams.
Athletes can sign up for one or all aspects for the same price of $30. All proceeds will be donated back to the athlete's Athletic Department. Over the past few years we have donated over $14,000 back to local schools. We understand many schools have their own events but just want to be an additional resource for your program and your athletes.
