EKG SCREENINGS for Student Athletes Provided by Who We Play For

New FHSAA EKG Requirement
for Student Athletes
Effective July 1, 2026


Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Florida law requires certain student-athletes to complete an electrocardiogram (EKG) screening before participating in FHSAA- sanctioned sports.

Who is required to have an EKG?

In accordance with State Statute 1006.20, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year and thereafter, the following students shall complete at least one electrocardiogram screening:

  • All incoming 9th-grade student-athletes
  • Students in grades 10–12 who have never participated in an FHSAA-sanctioned sport
  • Any student who transfers to Pasco County Schools and participates in an FHSAA-sanctioned sport
  • Returning athletes are not required to obtain an EKG, but it is strongly encouraged. An EKG performed on or after July 1, 2024 will satisfy this requirement

Why is this required?

The goal of the EKG screening is to identify undetected cardiac risk factors and enhance the safety of student-athletes.

How is Pasco County supporting families?

Pasco County Schools is partnering with Who We Play For to offer EKG screenings at a reduced 
cost of $20 per student.

  • Multiple screening locations will be available in March and throughout the summer
  • Registration details will be shared by each high school
  • Additional information will be available on the district website and social media

What are the next steps if a student-athlete does not clear the EKG screening?

  • The student will be prohibited from tryouts, practice, or competition
  • The student must submit written medical clearance to the school
  • Clearance must be provided by a qualified healthcare practitioner trained in EKG evaluation
  • A list of providers can be shared with families to assist with scheduling
