Athletics Clearance and Registration
Overview
In order to participate in junior high and high school athletics, students are required to complete the athletic clearance process.
Puyallup School District uses an online system to complete the forms required to participate in both junior high and high school sports. The online system is currently being used for 7-8 junior high and 9-12 high school athletes.
The primary function of the RankOneSport web-based service is to help organize, save time, improve communications, and provide documentation. It allows parents to complete eligibility paperwork and electronically sign permission forms, student handbook commitments, complete eligibility forms, etc. Such provisions expedite the athletic clearance process and serves as an electronic repository for athletic paperwork.
Electronic online forms are digitally signed by the parent and student, will be recorded as complete in the system database, and checked by the school athletic director when clearing athletes. There will be no need to bring these clearance forms to the school. There is no log-in or account to remember. Parents will need to know the Student ID to complete the forms.
Clearance forms must be completed ONCE per school year starting in August each year, unless information needs to be updated during the year. The digitally signed forms are good for the current school year (August to July) and the end-of-year summer activities.
Ninth grade students should select the high school they are participating at, not their resident junior high school.
Junior High and High School Sports Requirements
In order to participate in junior high or high school sports, the following requirements must be met:
1. Complete the two digital forms
Athletic Eligibility Form
Parent Permission and Consent Form - including:
- Cautions, Considerations, and Responsibilities of Participation

2. Submit a current physical examination form to the school athletic director. Most physicals are good for two years. The physical must be valid for the entire sports season. Some medical providers may have their own form.
3. Submit a current baseline concussion testing form through Olympic Sport and Spine or your family physician if participating in basketball, football, flag football, soccer, volleyball or wrestling. Information and screening dates TBD
4. If a student has a life-threatening health condition or needs access to emergency medications, then an Emergency Action Plan, signed by a physician, must also be submitted. The school nurse works with the athletic directors on EAP's.
5. Pay the Athletic Fee (JH $40/HS $75 per season) and purchase a school ASB Card ($30/$40). These fees can be paid in person with the school bookkeeper prior to athletic clearance, or online (a convenience fee is charged). In either payment situation, bring your receipts with you to the athletic director during clearance.
