Florida Mandates ECGs for High School Athletes | Tampa News
Description
Florida’s new high school sports rule, taking effect in 2026-27, mandates a one-time ECG for all freshmen and returning athletes entering FHSAA sports — a simple, painless test that could save lives by catching hidden heart conditions missed by standard physicals. With one in 300 teens potentially at risk, this screening gives families peace of mind and ensures athletes only return to play after a full medical clearance. It’s a small step with big safety potential.
