As mandated by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), every Shorecrest athlete must be cleared to participate for practices and for all team competitions. The clearance process requires the following:
- A completed and signed FHSAA physical (EL2) form by the parent/guardian, student and doctor
- Signed Insurance/Liability/Heat/Concussion/Cardiac Arrest (EL3) forms
- Signed Athletic Handbook Acknowledgement form
- Signed Impact Consent Form
- A completed and signed Driver/Rider Permission Form (for students in grades 9-12)
The required athletic forms mentioned above will be collected via the FHSAA Athletic Clearance Website. (View a step-by-step guide here.) We will no longer be accepting paper athletic forms in order to expedite and streamline the clearance process.
Each family will create one account on the Athletic Clearance website and perform the following actions for each student athlete in the family:
- Read and electronically sign the required Insurance/Liability/Heat/Concussion/Cardiac Arrest (EL3) forms
- Download the Athletic Handbook from the Athletic Clearance website, read and then electronically sign the Athletic Handbook Acknowledgement Form
- Read and electronically sign the Impact Consent Form
- Upload a completed and signed FHSAA physical (EL2) form (PDF format only-photos will not be accepted)
- Download, complete and upload the Driver/Rider Permission Form (for students in grades 9-12) (PDF format only-photos will not be accepted)
Families may begin this process for any sport that takes place over the 2022-2023 school year. By completing the clearance process early, you will ensure that your student’s eligibility is approved in a timely manner.
* Please be advised that no eligibility approvals will take place after 12pm on the day of the first team practice, allowing time for coaches to receive notification of each student’s eligibility at practice. If a student has not completed the clearance by the noon deadline, the student may still attend practice but will not be able to participate until the next practice day – if the clearance has been completed by then.
Please contact Melinda Holmes, Athletic Administrative Assistant, at [email protected] or call 727-456-7538 with any questions or concerns.
