STEP 1: ATHLETIC CLEARANCE

Create an account or add a new sport(s) for the year 2024-2025 at AthleticClearance.com for ALL sports you’re interested in playing. This will allow you the possibility to be cleared for all sports at the same time.  Note that the FHSAA requires a 2.0+ GPA at the end of a semester to be eligible for the next semester.

STEP 2: ATHLETIC PHYSICAL

Complete and upload the NEW FHSAA EL2 Athletic Physical Form to your Athletic Clearance account. All parties must sign and date the form – athlete, parent, and doctor. Schedule an appointment with your doctor before your Athletic Physical expires!

STEP 3: ATHLETIC VIDEOS

Register or sign-in at nfhslearn.com and complete the three video courses on Concussion, Heat Illness, and Sudden Cardiac Arrest. You will have to select the state of Florida and order the courses, but they are FREE. Download or screenshot the completion certificates and upload them to the FILES bubble of your Athletic Clearance account.

STEP 4: ATHLETIC FEE – Pay to Participate

Pay the one-time annual fee of $85 online. This one-time fee covers ALL sports for the 2024-2025 school year. Once you have paid, visit the Athletic Department, with your current student ID, to receive your sticker to get into Home Games for FREE! (This excludes Home Football Games.)
