Decision-makers for the Florida High School Athletic Association are holding an emergency meeting Thursday to decide whether to require girls to provide menstrual information in order to participate in sports. Critics said making girls divulge their menstruation history is unnecessarily invasive and could lead to lower participation rates. 

The FHSAA’s executive director is recommending that students only submit one page of the paperwork to schools — a page in which a medical professional verifies that an athlete is healthy enough to compete, or only able to participate partially. Specific details about a player’s health are not included on that page of the form, the Union-Bulletin reported Tuesday.
