Newsome High School

Starting July 1, a new Florida Law — the Second Chance Act (Florida Statute 1006.20) — will require first-time high school athletes to have a cleared electrocardiogram (ECG) before participating in any Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) sport.

This applies to...

➡️ Rising 9th graders planning to play a high school sport

➡️ Students in grades 10–12 participating in FHSAA athletics for the first time
