ECG Screening Requirement
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Florida law requires a one-time electrocardiogram (ECG) for:
All incoming 9th-grade student-athletes
Students in grades 10–12 participating in an FHSAA sport for the first time
Returning student-athletes who have previously participated in FHSAA athletics are not required to obtain another ECG, although one is encouraged. An ECG completed on or after July 1, 2024, satisfies the requirement.
Students may complete an ECG through their healthcare provider or at a community screening event when available.
