Athletic Clearance
All athletics are required by Downey High administration to gain athletic clearance by accessing athleticclearance.com. Athletic clearance also requires all athletes to have a full sports physical prior to participating in any practices or meets during a season.
The form is provided below.
All three pages of the form need to be filled out by a physician. We recommend visiting PIH just south of Downey High or the PIH located in the promenade (they charge $25).
Once you complete your physical, you may upload it to athleticclearance.com. You will be prompted to make an account and select the sports which you want your physical associated with. We recommend selecting all sports in which you will be participating in to reduce the amount of times you need to go in and add sports.
Some information you will need for athleticclearance.com is:
Student ID
Parent Info (names/phone numbers/ emails)
Medical Info (provider/policy number/ medical conditions)
Team Contract
Below is our contract that we require all parents and athletes to sign. It goes over our expectations for both athlete and parents alike as well as general information pertaining to the program.
The athlete is required to complete the contract and submit it within 4 days of receiving the packet.
ASB Card
All athletes are required by school administration to purchase a $45 ASB card as a condition for becoming eligible to participate in an extracurricular sport. ASB card funds are used to pay for officials for scheduled events as well as for other costs incurred by the school in holding extracurricular athletic activities.
All efforts will be made to find donations for players whose families are unable to afford the costs of an ASB card for their player, feel free to contact Coach Gleason if this is an issue for you and your player.
Athletes are expected to have their ASB card done by February 13th, 2026.
Athletes can pay for their ASB cards at the ASB window; before or after school or during snack and lunch.
​The ASB window can be found by seeing the image below.
