Ensuring the wellbeing of student-athletes is a priority that schools across the nation take seriously, and Florida is no exception. The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has established a comprehensive process to safeguard students' health before they participate in sports, embodied in the FHSAA EL2 form. This Preparticipation Physical Evaluation form consists of three pages, each serving a unique function in assessing the health and fitness of a student to partake in athletic activities. The initial segment captures detailed student information, ranging from personal identification to medical history, requiring responses to queries about past illnesses, surgeries, and any substances that might affect sports performance. This is followed by a rigorous physical examination conducted by a qualified healthcare professional, which includes an assessment of vital signs, musculoskeletal integrity, and overall physical condition. Notably, the form underscores the importance of cardiovascular evaluation, advising on additional tests like EKGs or stress tests to preemptively identify risks. Valid for 365 days from the evaluation date, the document emphasizes its non-transferability; a change in schools necessitates a new submission of the form, highlighting the tailored approach to each student's health. The meticulous design of the FHSAA EL2 form reflects a dedicated effort to ensure student-athletes are physically prepared and medically cleared, underpinning the broader commitment to student safety in sports across Florida.

Instructions on Utilizing Fhsaa El 2

Filling out the FHSAA EL2 form is an essential step for high school athletes in Florida to participate in sports activities. This three-page document ensures the health and safety of student-athletes through a thorough preparticipation physical evaluation. Completing this form accurately is crucial for the eligibility and well-being of the athlete. The process involves providing detailed student information, a comprehensive medical history, and undergoing a physical examination by a qualified healthcare professional. Let's break down the steps needed to complete this form correctly.

Begin with Part 1: Student Information. This section requires basic details about the student, including their full name, sex, age, date of birth, school they are attending, current grade, sports they plan to participate in, home address, and contact information. This portion is usually filled out by the student or the parent/guardian.
Continue to Part 2: Medical History. Here, answer a series of yes/no questions about the student's medical history. It's imperative to provide comprehensive responses and explain any "Yes" answers in the space provided at the end of this section. This part helps in identifying any potential risk factors that could affect the student's participation in sports.
After completing the medical history, ensure that both the student and the parent or guardian sign and date the form at the bottom of page 1. This step is vital as it confirms the accuracy of the information provided and acknowledges the recommendation for a cardiovascular assessment.
Part 3: Physical Examination must be completed by a licensed healthcare professional. This section of the form will be filled out during the student's physical examination. The examiner will assess various health aspects, including appearance, eyes/ears/nose/throat, lymph nodes, heart, lungs, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system, among others.
The healthcare professional conducting the examination will conclude whether the student is cleared without limitations, cleared with precautions, or not cleared for participation in sports. Any specific diagnoses, disabilities, precautions, or recommendations should be detailed in the provided space.
Finally, the examining healthcare professional must provide their name, address, and signature, along with the date of examination at the bottom of page 2. If the student is referred to another physician, the assessment and recommendations from that physician should be documented on page 3 of the form.

After completing all sections of the FHSAA EL2 form, ensure that all pages are submitted to the student's school, where they must be kept on file. Remember, this form is valid for 365 calendar days from the date of the evaluation, and it is non-transferable; a change of schools during its validity requires re-submission of page 1. Diligently following these steps will help ensure that student-athletes are ready and safe to participate in their chosen sports activities.

Frequently Asked Questions about the FHSAA EL2 Form

What is the FHSAA EL2 Form?
The FHSAA EL2 form, or the Florida High School Athletic Association Preparticipation Physical Evaluation, is a document used to evaluate the health and fitness of students before they participate in high school sports. It includes sections for personal information, medical history, and results from a physical examination conducted by a licensed medical professional. The form ensures that students are physically capable of joining sports activities, minimizing the risk of sports-related injuries.
How long is the FHSAA EL2 Form valid?
The FHSAA EL2 form is valid for 365 calendar days from the date of the evaluation, as noted on page 2 of the form. This means that once completed, the form will cover participation for any sports within a one-year timeframe. However, if a student changes schools within that year, page 1 of the form, which includes student information, must be resubmitted to the new school.
Who needs to complete the FHSAA EL2 Form?
- Students participating in Florida high school sports activities.
- Parents or guardians of the student athlete, who must fill out the student information and medical history sections.
- Medical professionals including licensed physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractic physicians, physician assistants, or certified advanced registered nurse practitioners, who are responsible for completing the physical examination section.
What sections are included in the EL2 Form, and who is responsible for each?
The FHSAA EL2 Form is divided into three main sections:
1. Student Information - Completed by the student or parent/guardian, providing essential details about the student and contact information.
2. Medical History - Also completed by the student or parent/guardian, this section includes a comprehensive list of questions designed to identify any conditions or issues that might affect the student’s ability to safely participate in sports.
3. Physical Examination - Completed by a licensed medical professional, this part documents the findings of the physical exam, including assessments of the student’s overall health, musculoskeletal condition, and any potential medical concerns that need to be addressed.
Each section must be thoroughly completed to ensure that the student athlete is safe to participate in sporting events.

Common mistakes

When filling out the FHSAA EL2 Form, important for Florida high school athletes, several common mistakes can complicate the process:

Not completing the student information section thoroughly. Every detail, from the student's name to their grade in school, is crucial for identification purposes.
Skipping the medical history questions. These queries are designed to protect the athlete by identifying any potential health risks. Answering "yes" or "no" and providing explanations for "yes" answers is mandatory.
Forgetting to circle questions if the answer is unknown. This is a unique feature of the form meant to ensure no information is inadvertently overlooked.
Leaving the emergency contact details blank. Providing accurate contact information is essential in case of an emergency during an athletic event or practice.
Omitting the signature and date at the bottom of Page 1. The form is not valid without the athlete and guardian's acknowledgment of the information provided.
Failing to consider the validity period of the form. It's valid for 365 calendar days from the evaluation date, and a change in schools requires resubmission of page 1.

Here are some additional, yet less common, errors:

Not correctly identifying the student's sport(s), which can impact the relevance of the medical evaluation.
Incorrect or missing information for personal/family physician contacts. This can delay or complicate follow-up in case further medical evaluation is necessary.
Incompletely filling out the immunization dates. Although it may seem secondary, this information is a part of the student's health profile.
Forgetting to check the appropriate box for issues related to musculoskeletal concerns, which are particularly relevant in sports participation.
Missing the opportunity to disclose any use of supplements, which can affect the student's health and athletic performance.

By avoiding these mistakes and completing the form accurately and thoroughly, students and their guardians can ensure a smooth process in meeting the requirements for high school athletic participation in Florida.

Documents used along the form

The FHSAA EL2 Form, crucial for student-athlete participation in Florida, requires various forms and documents to support the comprehensive assessment of a student's eligibility and health status. These ancillary documents ensure a student's readiness to engage safely in school athletic programs. Understanding these documents helps streamline the process for students, parents, and school administrators.

FHSAA EL3 Form – This form is a consent and release from liability certificate, which must be completed by the student and their parent or guardian. It covers acknowledgment of the risks associated with athletic participation and agreement to adhere to FHSAA policies.
Proof of Insurance – Documentation that verifies the student has adequate health insurance coverage. Schools may require a copy of the insurance card or a letter from the insurance provider.
Birth Certificate – A copy of the student's birth certificate is often required for age verification purposes to ensure eligibility for certain age groups or leagues.
Academic Record – This includes report cards or transcripts to verify the student’s academic performance. FHSAA mandates that student-athletes meet specific academic criteria to participate.
Residency Documentation – Documents proving the student’s residence may be needed to ensure they are eligible to represent their school based on geographic location. This can include utility bills or a lease agreement.
Emergency Contact Information Form – A form detailing contact information for parents or guardians, as well as preferred medical providers, to be used in the event of an emergency.
Concussion and Heat-Related Illness Information Form – A form that provides information to students and parents about the risks of concussions and heat-related illnesses, including prevention and symptoms. This typically requires a signature to acknowledge receipt and understanding of the information.
Sickle Cell Trait Testing Documentation – Some schools require documentation of sickle cell trait testing. This genetic information can be important for managing a student-athlete's health in relation to strenuous exercise.

Together, these documents, along with the FHSAA EL2 Form, create a comprehensive profile that supports the health and safety of student-athletes in Florida. Ensuring these are accurately completed and maintained facilitates a smoother participation process for all involved, emphasizing the overarching goal of safeguarding student-athlete wellbeing.

Sports Consent Forms: These forms are used to obtain permission from parents or guardians for minors to participate in sports activities, similar to the EL2 form’s requirement for parental or guardian signatures to authorize participation in high school sports.
Medical Clearance Forms: Often required for surgeries or starting new physical activities, these are similar to the EL2 form in providing a medical evaluation that clears individuals to participate in an activity or procedure, ensuring it is safe for them to do so.
Immunization Records: Required for school enrollment and some travel, immunization records share a similarity with the EL2 form’s section for documenting recent immunizations, highlighting the importance of vaccinations in preventing communicable diseases in community settings.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the FHSAA EL2 form, it's important to follow some dos and don'ts to ensure the form is completed accurately and efficiently. Here are ten tips to guide you through this process:

Do read all instructions carefully before starting to fill out the form.
Do ensure that all the information provided is accurate and up-to-date, especially your contact details and medical history.
Do complete the student information section fully, including the student's name, date of birth, grade, sports participating in, and contact information.
Do answer all the medical history questions truthfully. If you answer "yes" to any questions, provide a clear and concise explanation in the space provided.
Do circle any questions you do not know the answers to or need to research further before answering.
Don't skip the signature section. Both the student and the parent/guardian must sign and date the form to validate it.
Don't forget to schedule an appointment with a qualified healthcare provider for the physical examination part and ensure they fill it out accurately.
Don't leave any sections blank unless they specifically do not apply to you. If a section is not applicable, write "N/A" or "None" as appropriate.
Don't use the form if it's older than 365 calendar days from the date of the evaluation as noted on page 2. The form must be current to be valid.
Don't ignore the advice to undergo additional cardiovascular assessment if suggested in the form based on your answers to the medical history questions.

Remember, the EL2 form is essential for ensuring student athletes are physically and medically fit for participation in school sports activities. By following these dos and don'ts, you can help streamline the process for everyone involved.

Misconceptions

Only a doctor can complete the FHSAA EL2 Form: While it's true the physical examination must be carried out by a licensed medical professional, this group includes physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractic physicians, physician assistants, and certified advanced registered nurse practitioners. It's not restricted only to doctors.
The form is only for high school athletes: Although designed by the Florida High School Athletic Association, the form is also used for middle school athletes participating in sports that require a preparticipation physical evaluation.
Once completed, the form only needs to be filed with the school: While the school needs to retain a copy of the form, it's advisable for parents and guardians to keep a copy for their records. This ensures they have easy access to their child's medical evaluation information.
The form is valid indefinitely: The form is actually valid for 365 calendar days from the date of the evaluation noted on page 2. Keeping track of this date is crucial to ensuring the athlete’s eligibility to participate in sports.
Any pre-existing medical conditions disqualify the student-athlete: Not necessarily. The form includes a section for detailing any medical conditions, which a medical professional will review. Depending on the condition and the sport, many athletes can still participate with proper management and precautions.
The form does not need to be re-submitted if the student changes schools: This is incorrect. If a student changes schools during the period for which the form is valid, page 1 of the form must be re-submitted to the new school. This ensures the new school has accurate and up-to-date medical information.
All sections of the form must be filled out by the medical examiner: The form is divided into parts, with the first section typically filled out by the student or parent. This includes the student’s personal information and medical history. The medical examiner completes the physical examination part.
The form only screens for physical health issues: While the form primarily focuses on physical health, it also includes sections for reporting medications, supplements, allergies, and even questions related to mental and emotional health, which underscores the holistic approach to evaluating an athlete’s readiness for sports participation.
