Athletic Clearance

In order to be cleared for participation in sports at Foothill, a sports clearance packet must be completed before an athlete can be involved in any athletic activity, including tryouts/practice. Athletes who would like to play in multiple sports need to register for each sport — every season — every year.

Please follow the instructions below:

  • Parent/Guardians must register their student-athlete online through AthleticClearance.com before a student can try out, practice or play for a sport. Please be complete when you register as you will be cleared or not cleared according to the information you provided. Do not submit donations through the Athletic Clearance site since they take 5% of the money. Donations should go through the the online store for Foothill (using MySchoolBucks or Future Fund).  https://foothill.pleasantonusd.net/activities-athletics/store
  • A current physical must be uploaded. The Physical Form is attached as a PDF to this page. Your athlete's physical is only good for one year from the date of the exam. (Remember — each physical form needs to be signed and stamped by your physician to be deemed valid. Also, if the physical will expire during the athlete's season please make an appointment for a new physical exam so your athlete does not miss any practice or playing time). We do not accept expired physicals.
  • Once cleared, the online program will send them a confirmation email that will need to be printed out and signed by a parent/guardian and the student-athlete.  Please include the student ID number on the top right hand corner of the page. 
  • Our office opens on July 31, 2025 so any day after that the signed confirmation form can be dropped off in the office.
  • Once we have reviewed the signed form and confirmed everything is complete in the system, then the student-athlete will be cleared for participation and coaches will be notified.
  • Please donate to support the athletic program since we are fully self-funded.

If you have any questions regarding the clearance process, please reach out to Kathy Young or Paul Faris.
