Destin High School

ALL athlete’s MUST submit paperwork YEARLY to be cleared to practice or play with any team.
A new 25-26 Athletic Clearance is required NOW in order to participate in ANY activities.

We have a new way of making sure that all of our Destin High School student athletes are in compliance with FHSAA requirements. EVERY student will now submit the paperwork required via the online portal at AthleticClearance.com as coaches will no longer be accepting the paper forms in person. There is a video & a PDF below with step by step instruction on how to navigate the AthleticClearance.com website. There is also a HELP button for assistance and an email for questions or problems within AthleticClearance.com. In addition, you may contact Amanda Eubank at amanda@destinhighschool.org if you need further assistance. 

ALL STUDENT ATHLETES MUST BE CLEARED FOR THE 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE!!!!

Please ensure your athlete has ALL of the following in order to clear the online process:

1. EL2 Physical Form (Page 4):

• Please upload PAGE 4 of the EL2 making sure the physicians signature, date of the physical, & the box checked clearing the student to participate is complete. The top section & the signatures for athlete & parents must also be completed.
• The date of the signed physical MUST be within the last 365 days as we cannot accept expired physicals. If a physical’s expiration date occurs mid-season, a new one must be obtained before continuing your athletic season. Coaches and parents will receive an email alerting you that the physical is about to expire.

2. 3 Safety Certificates: Student Athletes must watch the 3 required NFHS videos(links to videos below) regarding concussions, cardiac arrest, and heat related illness every year. If you already have a NFHS account, please use your current username and password to watch. If you do not, please create an account. Videos must be watched every school year. After each video, it will give you the opportunity to receive a certificate. Once completed, please save or screen shot each certificate as you will need to upload each of those to your AthleticClearance.com account. We suggest watching the videos BEFORE starting the AthleticClearance.com process.
3. FHSAA requires that all student athletes have at least a 2.0 unweighted GPA to be eligible for participation. If their GPA is lower they can participate at practice ONLY but are NOT allowed to be in uniform or participate in any games. GPA’s are pulled from the school at the beginning of each semester & input into AthleticClearance.com
4. All student athletes must have insurance on file before participation in any sport. You will add this within Athletic Clearance, please make sure to have it available & completed in order to be cleared.
5. If you are transferring into DHS from another HIGH SCHOOL ONLY, you will also need to complete the Affidavit of Compliance (GA4). This too must also be uploaded to your athlete’s AthleticClearance.com Account.
6. If your child is a Home Schooling athlete you will also need to complete the EL7 & EL7V Home Schooling Form & the EL9 Home Education Student Academic Progress Report Form These completed forms will also need to be uploaded to your athlete’s AthleticClearance.com Account.
7. EL3 form is no longer required as it is now signed digitally on AthleticClearance.com

Once all documents have been submitted, they will be reviewed. Once reviewed, you will receive an email stating your student has been cleared to participate or an email stating what further documentation is required. PLEASE make sure to complete all courses and documentation in a timely manner so that we can ensure that all of our student athletes are in compliance. You will only need to do this once a year and if applicable, can be used for other sports.
