Athletic Clearance Paperwork
Dear Bulldogs,
Our DHS athletic registration is now an online process completed at www.AthleticClearance.com. Instructions are below for completion of your student's athletic registration. All students must complete this online and upload the last two signature pages your physical form, as well as bring the hard copy of the physical to the athletic office. This process is for all incoming and returning students for the 2020-2021 school year. **Even if your student's Athletic Clearance is still current, the 2020-2021 Athletic Clearance process is MANDATORY to update student information. ** The VCS COVID WAIVER MUST BE SUBMITTED AS WELL ALONG WITH A PICTURE OF YOUR INSURANCE CARD WITH THE LAST TWO PAGES OF YOUR PHYSICAL FORM.

Online Athletic Clearance FAQ
What is my Username?
Your username is the email address that you registered with.
Multiple Sports:
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. Don’t 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.
Physicals:
The physical form your school uses can be downloaded on 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
Document Library:
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.
Why haven’t I been cleared?
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.
My sport is not listed!
Please contact your school’s athletic department and ask for your sport to be activated.
