Athletic Clearance

ELIGIBILITY & CLEARANCE

Participation in interscholastic athletic programs by a student is a privilege, not a right. Students who participate are required to meet the requirements established in state law, FHSAA regulations, Seminole County Public Schools and Seminole High School.

FHSAA STUDENT-ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY

To play sports at Seminole High School:

Please note, athletic recruiting is a gross violation of the spirit and philosophy of educational athletics. Athletic recruiting is unethical and unsporting conduct, and is forbidden by FHSAA Bylaws. No student-athlete should ever be pressured, urged, or enticed by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school's athletic interests to attend any school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics. For more information on recruiting rules as set by the FHSAA, please click here.

ONLINE ATHLETIC CLEARANCE SYSTEM

The Seminole High School Athletic Department has transitioned to an online clearance platform for athletic participation and will no longer be accepting any hard copy sports physical packets in the Athletic Office. All prospective student-athletes must create an account & submit all required documents on www.AthleticClearance.com. Please read through the instructions prior to starting the process. All necessary forms are available for download on our website or in your AthleticClearance.com account. Upon going through the clearance process, you will receive an email from the Athletic Department in regards to your athletic clearance status. If you receive a denial email, it will include what is missing from your file to update. You can also log back into your account to check your status. You are not permitted to participate until you receive an email stating that you have been cleared for athletic activity. This process will also eliminate white cards as the coaching staff will have access to cleared athlete lists and emergency information for student-athletes participating in their sport.

Download the Athletic Clearance Instructions. All clearances submitted are still currently a part of participation in the 2022-2023 school year. Athletic Clearance for 2023-2024 will open in late May.
