Electrocardiogram Clearance
Effective July 1, 2026, all first-time high school athletes must have an Electrocardiogram (ECG) screening before participation. This applies to students with no cardiac symptoms. Students with cardiac symptoms should consult their healthcare provider. An ECG completed within two (2) years prior to July 1 of the participation year satisfies this requirement. If the ECG requires further evaluation, the student must be cleared by a licensed medical practitioner trained in the diagnosis, evaluation and management of ECGs before participating in athletic competition, practice, tryouts, or workouts.
Who Must Obtain an ECG:
- All incoming 9th-grade student-athletes (2026-27)
- Any student in grades 10–12 who has never participated in high school sports
Submit your completed and signed ECG Screening form by uploading it below.
Who We Play For is a non-profit organization that offers minimal cost ECG screening clinics across the country throughout the year, but frequently during the summer.
