of its governmental structure. The name was changed back to Florida High School Athletic Association in 2002. As of August 2007, the FHSAA has a membership of 748 schools. In 2017, the association adopted a points method of ranking football teams for state championship playoffs. Points are awarded on the basis of wins, and losses, opponents records, and past playoff records. In 2023, the association's medical advisory committee recommended a requirement that female athletes, the majority of whom are minor children, must submit menstruation info to schools. The recommendation included age of their first period, days between menstrual cycles, and date of their most recent period. Several Florida pediatricians have reportedly warned that this sensitive medical information could be easily accessed by coaches or teachers without oversight, and parent advocates reportedly warned that the program would not have sufficient protections against the data being lost or sold by third parties running the period-tracking databases. Women's advocates also warned that the data could be used to falsely accuse teenagers, who often do not menstruate for months at a time due to the strain of athletic practice, of having become pregnant and seeking abortions criminalized under Florida law. In early February 2023, the FHSAA voted against making menstrual questions mandatory. The approved physical evaluation form removed the controversial questions about an athlete's menstrual history but also changed a question on the form for student-athletes to report their "sex assigned at birth." The previous form simply asked the athlete's "sex."

One, because of logistical and geographical constraints, is necessarily local: large schools play small ones in the same area. There are four geographical regions for most sports, each subdivided into up to 16 districts, typically four for larger school classifications and two for smaller school classifications, to reduce travel time and expense for conference play. Another level of classification is made based on student population and is statewide. Eventually, schools with the best records in this type of classification will meet each other for seasonal playoffs to
