Good Day,
I hope this message (email) finds you well! I have made a slight pivot due to a more streamlined (in-house) process; we are using Athletic Clearance. No more paperwork, the process KIPP Bold City will use to verify that a student-athlete is eligible and physically fit to participate in High School Sports.
Attached you will find detailed information on how to “Create an Account” and “Register Your Athlete(s)”. I have attached a .PDF with step-by-step instructions. Follow the directions and you will successfully complete the registration process! I will review, approve, and reject (with feedback if needed) clearances as student-athletes are onboarded.

Good Afternoon,
In alignment with Florida Statute, the FHSAA, in conjunction with the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors, have released the new ECG screening form(s) on www.fhsaa.com. The form(s) can be found by selecting the "Parents" tab.
Summary of new documents and changes to existing documents:EL1 - ECG Screening form - required form starting July 1, 2026 for all incoming 9th graders and new student athletes in grades 10-12.
EL1/2s - this form replaces page five of the EL2 and is for use when a follow-up is required for either the EL1 or the EL2
EL2 - Page five of the EL2 was removed. The first four pages of the EL2 did not change in any way and the previous version can still be used.
EL3 - Information, including vital State Stature language was added to the EL3. This new version of the EL3 will need to be used by parents moving forward.
ME1 - For use by Medical doctors to exempt a student athlete from the ECG requirement.
Who Must Obtain an ECG:
All incoming 9th-grade student-athletes (2026-27)
Any student in grades 10–12 who has never participated in an FHSAA-sanctioned sports
Returning athletes are not required but strongly encouraged to obtain an ECG. The goal is to identify undetected cardiac risk factors and enhance athlete safety.
A one-page standardized form (EL1) will confirm ECG completion, including:
⚬ Parent/guardian attestation
⚬ Clinician verification
⚬ Referral information, if needed
Any follow-up that is requested by the medical professional will require the completion of the EL1/2s.
An ECG performed on or after July 1, 2024 will satisfy the requirement.
Parents can visit WhoWePlayFor.org for local screening opportunities, contact their school athletic director or athletic trainer, or consult their family healthcare provider.
Interpretation Standards - - To ensure accuracy and minimize false positives, clinicians must use the most current International Criteria for Electrocardiographic Interpretation in Athletes. FHSAA will collaborate with statewide medical societies to provide education and training for consistent application.
Parent Options & School Partnerships The committee reviewed parental opt-out pathways, including religious exemptions, and emphasized the need for schools to partner with qualified ECG screening organizations and referral providers to ensure equitable access for all families.
