6/6
Beginning on July 1, 2026 all incoming 9th-grade student-athletes (2026-27) and any student in grades 10-12 who has never participated in a FHSAA-sanctioned sport must obtain an ECG. (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.) Documentation: A one-page standardized form (EL1) will confirm ECG completion, including: Parent/Guardian attestation, Clinician verification, and Referral information , if needed. Any follow-up that is requested by the medical professional will require the completion of the Form EL1/2s.
An ECG performed on or after July 1, 2024 will satisfy the requirement.
