Athletic Clearance

Impact Christian Academy utilizes an online system for athletic clearance, AthleticClearance.com. The clearance process is explained below. Student-athletes are required to complete the clearance process prior to being permitted to participate in any team activities.

Please keep in mind that the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) requires all student athletes to view free ICA video courses on concussions, heat illness, and sudden cardiac arrest (see instructions below). Signatures on the EL3 form indicate that your athlete has completed these three video courses. The FHSAA also requires that all student athletes have at least a 2.0 unweighted GPA to be eligible for participation.
