2024-2025 Wrestling Checklist
Below is a checklist of items you must complete to participate in wrestling. All items must be complete before the first day of conditioning.
Section 1: Athletic Participation Paperwork
1) Complete Athletic Participation Paperwork
This paperwork is required to participate in wrestling. It must be done each season. If an athlete participates in multiple sports they do not have to submit these forms a second time. A copy of the form is attached to the left on this page.
​
1A) Print Packet and fill out
​
1B) Create an account at https://athleticclearance.fhsaahome.org/
- SIGNATURES SECTION : There are electronic signatures in this section (no need to print these out).
- FILES SECTION : Submit ALL FOUR PAGES of your (sports physical) EL2 form (even though it just says 'please upload only page 4').
- You will also upload your school insurance in this section (see 2 below)
- You will also submit your 3 online course certificates (see 3 below)
- You do not need to get forms notarized!
​
IF YOU PLAY A FALL SPORT : MAKE SURE YOU GO INTO YOUR ATHLETIC CLEARANCE ACCOUNT AND ADD WRESTLING AS A SPORT. SKIP SECTIONS 2 AND 3 BELOW, AND GO TO SECTION 4.
2) Purchase School Insurance
This button brings you to the site to purchase school insurance. You must purchase school insurance regardless of your medical insurance coverage. (at a minimum, choose At School - pk12 - high option plan)
​
3) Required Online Courses
Every student athlete in Pinellas County is required to complete the 3 free online courses regarding concussions, sudden cardiac arrest, and heat illness.
​
- Click the appropriate button the left,
- Make an account,
- Take the free courses,

- Upload certificates with your online paperwork to athletic clearance.
These courses and tests must be completed by the student-athlete, not a parent, and completed before he/she participates.
4) Join our Remind.com group and our new SportsYou group. These Apps allows us to communicate with Wrestlers & Parents via text.
Click this button to instantly join. Wrestlers need to join as a "student" and parents join simply as a "parent". This will be my primary way of communicating info with parents & wrestlers.
