Overview:
Brevard Public Schools requires all student athletes to follow the athletic clearance process prior to participation in any athletic activities.
If you are new, you will need to create an account in Home Campus (AthleticClearance.com). This account will be used throughout your student-athlete’s middle and high school career.
Keep your username and password for future use!
Each year you will be required to log in and update your account with updated documents, certificates and signatures.
Questions?
If you have questions regarding the process, your primary contact should be the coach for the program/sport your athlete will be participating in. If you do not know who your coach will be or have difficulty reaching them, feel free to email Coach Dameian or AD Kaltenbach and we’ll be sure to connect you:
Step 1: Gather The Required Forms and Documents
You will need to download, print, complete, and re-digitize (scan or take a picture with your phone) the following forms before continuing to Step 2 where they will need to be uploaded.
Coach’s note: This part of the process can be tedious, I know. There’s just no easy way to create a more efficient system when considering each family, student, and school’s unique circumstances.
EL2/Physical Form
NEW for 2025-2026. Must be filled out by a physician and signed by both the student AND a parent/guardian.
See Step 2 for a list of providers offering free or low-cost physicals.
Brevard Public Schools ECG/EKG Form
Required once upon entering middle school and then again upon entering high school.
Middle school scenarios: 7th graders or 8th graders who are new to Edgewood will need an ECG form uploaded/filed. Returning 8th graders with an ECG form on file do not need to file a new form.
High School scenarios: All incoming 9th graders or high school students (9th grade or higher) new to Edgewood will need an ECG form uploaded/filed. Returning 10th-12th graders with an ECG form on file do not need to file a new form.
Parents can choose to opt-out of the ECG in the form, but the form must still be uploaded noting that you’ve chosen to opt-out.
Off-Campus Athletics Permission Form
Additional Documents to Have Ready
You will also need to provide digitized copies of the following documents:
- Athlete’s birth certificate
- Athlete’s medical insurance card
Step 2: Get Your 2025-2026 Physical
Important: We were told that all new physicals must be on the updated FHSAA 2025 form in order to be valid for 2025-2026 (including summer activities).
This means your student-athlete will need to get a new physical before they’re able to participate, even if it’s been less than a year since their last one.
As mentioned, the EL2 physical form (available for download in Step 1) must be filled out by a physician and signed by both the student AND a parent/guardian.
