A reform designed to lighten the beginning of the school year
Since 2021, parents no longer have to provide a medical certificate every year to record their child to a sporting activity. The government wanted to simplify the lives of families and unlock medical offices at the beginning of the school year. The certificate is now replaced by A health questionnaire Those parents fill up. If it does not reveal any particular risk, the child can practice his sport without any other formality.
Cases in which the medical certificate remains mandatory
The rule, however, has several exceptions: for a series of disciplines deemed at risk, the medical certificate remains essential and must have been tracing for less than a year. These are the following activities:
- Underwaterincluding the basement
- Boxing and other competing combat sports that can lead to Ko
- Rugby (All forms: XV, XIII, VII)
- Dance taught (classic, contemporary, modern-jazz, sauce, etc.)
Other sports also require a mandatory medical certificate, but they are rarely practiced not children. We leave you judge:
- Sports shots, ball and biathlon (firearms or compressed air)
- Cars and motorcycle sports (excluding the kart and the radio -led model)
- Motor disciplines (motor boat, aeroglener, jet ski, etc.)
- Mountaineering
- Speleology
- Parachuting
- Aeronautical sports practiced (excluding aircraft)
In all these cases, the certificate is annual and must be presented at the time of registration or license. For other disciplines, the simple health questionnaire is sufficient, unless a positive answer requires to consult a doctor.
An online simulator to find out what to do
To help families navigate, a official simulator it is accessible on public services. By answering some questions about the sport practiced and the age of the child, it immediately indicates whether a medical certificate is necessary or not. This service avoids unpleasant surprises at the time of the club recording.
Supervision maintained for children’s health
The absence of a systematic certificate does not mean that health goes to the background. Health insurance recalls that parents remain responsible for reporting worrying symptoms and advice in case of doubt. The goal of the reform is not to reduce medical follow Target situations in which the exam is really useful.
What families must remember
In practice, most children can now register in a club or sports association with a simple health questionnaire signed by the parents. The medical certificate remains reserved at risk at risk or special cases revealed by this questionnaire. For parents, the rule is clear: first checks the discipline practiced, fill out the official form and, if in any doubt, consult the simulator or ask for advice from the club.
