IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 8TH GRADE ATHLETES & FAMILIES
Clay County District Schools is partnering with Who We Play For to provide IN-SCHOOL EKG SCREENINGS for eligible 8th grade student-athletes as they prepare to enter high school.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Florida’s Second Chance Act requires students in grades 9–12 to complete an EKG screening the first time they participate or seek to participate in interscholastic athletics.
For our current 8th graders planning to participate in high school athletics, completing the screening now can help satisfy this requirement before entering 9th grade.
WHO WILL NEED AN EKG?
• Incoming 9th-grade student-athletes participating in high school athletics
• Students in grades 10–12 who are participating in interscholastic athletics for the first time
• An eligible EKG completed within the previous two years may also satisfy the requirement
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SCREENING?
Results from the in-school EKG screening will be emailed to families within approximately 7–10 days.
Parents/guardians will be responsible for providing the EKG results, along with the completed EL1 physical form, to the student’s HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR before the student participates in a high school sports tryout.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS:
Please contact your child’s school directly for information regarding screening dates, registration, consent requirements, and other school-specific details.
If you have any other questions, please contact your child's junior high athletic director.
