Quick steps for parents/students using the online athletic clearance process.
Online Athletic Clearance: WEBSITE WILL OPEN JUNE EACH YEAR
PHYSICALS: During the school year physicals on file must be on or after the date established by the district ( LINK) . When a physical is no longer valid because it is out of date a new physical must be on file at the school to continue to practice, play, or compete at any level.
If you have never completed a physical to tryout, practice or compete for University City please make sure your physical is dated after the Website opens with the New Documents including the Physical Form. This is usually the First Week of June. (athleticclearance.com)
