Athletics

The process to get athletes cleared will be online this year. Visit www.athleticclearance.com and create a profile. There you will find forms that need to be read and signed and you MUST upload your completed physical before being officially cleared.

All athletes must complete the Athletic Clearance packet and the Pre-participation Physical Evaluation Form prior to being allowed to try out!

Athletic Clearance website

Pre-participation Physical Evaluation form

The SCUSD physical form must be filled out by a doctor. There will be an opportunity to complete the athletic physical on campus on July 21st at 5:30 (main office) - cost is $25 cash. If you do it through your regular insurance provider, please be sure to schedule early. The clearance is good for one year after completion.

Paper Packets

If you are unable to complete the athletic clearance requirements online, please contact Athletic Director Darrin Garcia (dagarcia@scusd.net) to arrange a paper packet.

To be eligible to play a sport at MacDonald High School an athlete must:

1. Be physically cleared to play
2. Be passing a minimum of four classes
3. Maintain good behavioral standing as outlined in our student handbook
4. For the previous grading period, the student athletes must have been enrolled in 20 units and received a 2.0 GPA. If they received a 1.5-1.99 GPA they may apply for  academic probation. If you are in this situation, please discuss the matter with your coach. 
5. Student athletes must not have turned 19 prior to June 15th of the preceding year.
6. If a student athlete ever attended a different high school, it must be determined whether or not CCS transfer paperwork should be filled out. Please speak to your coach or an athletic director to determine what steps need to be taken. 

This is not a comprehensive list of requirements, but rather a few other reminders of some of the requirements to be eligible to play a sport. 

Tryouts

Some sports are try out based, where individuals are given three days to try out for a sport, and a coach will make the decisions on who they keep. Others are no cut sports that require the athletes to meet eligibility standards, participate fully, and maintain a positive attitude. 

No cut sports include Cross Country, Football, Wrestling, Track and Field, Badminton and Swimming. Girl's and Boy's Tennis will most likely be no cut as well. Some sports listed below may be cut (depending on numbers). 

Sports not listed below that we are hoping to get as soon as possible (based on numbers) are Boy's/Girl's Water Polo, Girl's Flag Football, and Boy's/Girl's Golf.
