Athletic Participation Fee
The $200 one-time athletic fee will cover the student athlete – no matter how many sports they play – for the school year. This fee is due by the first day of practice of the first sport they are participating in. It is billed via incidental billing. Senior banners or other specialty photos are not included in the athletic fee.
GPA Requirements
Incoming freshmen are automatically eligible to participate in athletics. After the first semester, they must maintain a minimum 2.0 unweighted grade point average to be considered academically eligible for any athletic team.
Forms
All student athletes must complete these forms prior to starting practice. If your son or daughter wishes to participate on an athletic team for John Carroll, the Athletic Packet must be completed in full before he or she can start practice, including any summer workouts.
- EL2- FSHAA Student Physical Form: The EL2 form is required by the FSHAA and must be returned to John Carroll and is valid for one calendar year. This EL2 form cannot be substituted and must be returned to the school, filled in, and signed by the student’s physician. Many physicians send in the Florida State Immunization record instead. We will gladly keep it on file with your students’ records, but your student will not be able to participate until the EL2 form is returned.
- EL1/2s only needs to be filled out if a physician refers you to another physician for medical clearance.
- EL1 – ECG Screening Form – required form starting July 1, 2026, for all students.
- ME-1 - For use by medical doctors to exempt a student athlete from the ECG requirement.
- EL3 – FSHAA Consent and Release Forms: The EL3 form is required by the FSHAA and must be returned to John Carroll and is valid for one calendar year. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to only write in the sports you are NOT giving your consent for them to play. Do not write in the sports they will play in.
- Diocese of Palm Beach Athletic Travel Form: Must be signed and dated by the student and parent for your student to travel with their sports team to events. John Carroll will notarize ONLY if both signatures are provided. This form is valid for one academic year.
- Diocesan Medication Authorization Form: This form is needed to issue over-the-counter medication to your student throughout the school year. The most common usage for this is to combat oncoming headaches or menstrual cramps. Over-the-counter (OTC) medication will not be issued without this form. A copy of this form will be kept at the front office and in the athletics department and is valid for one academic year.
- Mandatory Concussion, Heat, and Cardiac Videos: All athletes must watch these videos, print the certificates, and return them with the athletic packet to Coach Groody.
IMPORTANT: All forms MUST have student and parent signatures.
All JCHS athletes must have a completed athletic packet on file before they can participate in any sports, including practices and conditioning. Athletic fees will be invoiced via incidental billing. Please contact the Finance Department at 772-464-5200 with any questions about athletic fees.
