Athletic Clearance Process

ATHLETIC CLEARANCE INFORMATION

Athletics Packet

All returning and incoming athletes must have completed the Athletic Clearance process before they can participate in any summer and/or school-year sports activities.

The Athletic Clearance is valid for one year and must be repeated on an annual basis. Failure to renew the Athletic Clearance prior to summer will result in the student not being able to participate in any summer and/or school-year activities at Deland High School. Participation is only allowed after the Athletic Clearance has been approved by the DeLand Athletic Department.

DeLand High School uses an online athletic clearance process. This increases the efficiency of the clearance process, decreases paper waste, and greatly helps all athletic staff members and coaches. Step by step instructions for completing the online process with screen shots and video tutorial are available on www.athleticclearance.com. You will need your FHSAA physical document, insurance information, and student present to complete the online process.

The process that needs to be followed for ATHLETIC CLEARANCE is listed below.

  1. Athlete picks up The FHSAA EL2 physical form from the athletic office or it can be downloaded from the athletic clearance site and www.fhsaa.com. This is the only physical form that can be used.
  2. Athlete gets physical exam completed and signed by a medical professional.
  3. Parent and athlete complete the www.AthleticClearance.com portion of clearance process and upload page 2 of the FHSAA EL2 form and a copy of the athlete's insurance card
  4. Secretary/AD review physical form, proof of insurance and online information for each athlete and clear them.
    • Parent/student will receive notification of clearance via email.

A current physical is required for each school year and is valid for one calendar year from the date it was signed by the doctor. All medical information will be kept confidential according to HIPPA regulations.
