Online Athletic Clearance FAQ

Q: What is my username?

A: Your username is the email address that you registered with.

Q: What does each status mean?

• • Cleared: cleared for all participation

  • Denied: the student-athlete CANNOT participate, they are missing something; a denial message with exact instructions of what is missing was sent (this can be viewed when they log-in to their account and is emailed to them)

  • In-Progress: the student-athlete CANNOT participate; they have an incomplete profile and must complete it before we’re able to check it

  • Pending: the student-athlete CANNOT participate; they are waiting for us to check their profile; please keep in mind we ask for at least 48 business hours to check physicals and they are checked in the order received

  • Expiring soon: the student-athlete CAN participate; their physical will expire soon

  • Physical expired: the student-athlete CANNOT participate; they must upload a new completed physical

Q: What sports should I check for cheerleading?

A: Please check off "Cheer, Fall" under the 25-26 school year!

Q: I'm in multiple sports, what should I do?

A: Once you complete a clearance for one sport and arrive at the Confirmation Message, you will have the option to check off additional sports/activities for the current school year. PLEASE ONLY CHECK OFF SPORTS YOU KNOW YOU WILL PLAY. Do not just check ones because you are interested in those. If you decide to participate in an additional sport/activity later on, you can access the multiple sport check boxes by clicking on “Print” under the Confirmation Message of your original Clearance for that specific year.

Q: Where do I submit my physical form?

A: The physical form your school uses can be downloaded on the Physicals page. Most schools will accept the physical online (done by uploading the completed form on Step #2) as well as turning in a hard copy to the athletic department. Statuses for this page are as follows:

Completed: All upload areas are filled (may not be required)

In Progress: At least one upload area is filled Incomplete: No files have been uploaded

Q: What is the Document Library?

A: This area is meant to store your files so they can be accessed later in the year or perhaps years following. You can either upload your files to the Document Library then apply them to your Clearance on the Physical page OR you can choose/browse for the file on the Physical page and the file will save to the Document Library for future use.

Q:Why haven’t I been cleared?

A: Your school will review the information you have submitted and Clear or Deny your student for participation. You will receive an email when the student is cleared.

Q: What if my sport is not listed?

A:Please contact your school’s athletic department and ask for your sport to be activated.

If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to our Lake Nona HS Athletic Trainers, Ms.Dana Matz at dana.matz@ocps.net :)

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ATHLETES WILL NEED AN EKG TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. You only need one EKG for all 4 years at LNHS, so if you are a returning athlete you do not need to repeat this process.
