Athletics

Welcome to Downey High School’s Athletic Program. It is extremely exciting and rewarding to have your student-athlete be part of our program. Being active with athletics is important because lessons learned through participation in athletics will assist students in their preparation for life after high school.

By participating in athletics, students will learn cooperation, respect, sportsmanship, hard work, and commitment to others. Since participation in athletics is voluntary, a student-athlete’s participation is a privilege. As a privilege, student-athletes are held accountable academically and behaviorally and are expected to conduct themselves in a way that promotes a positive image of our school, our community, and themselves. We hope you have a memorable season in your sport and a wonderful experience at Downey High School.

How to Join a Sport

In order to participate in an extracurricular sport, all students must receive athletic clearance. Students must also submit the Physical Evaluation Form, Athletic Clearance Form, and Extra-Curricular Waiver. Parents are also highly encouraged to purchase extra accident and injury insurance for their child, as DUSD does not provide insurance coverage.

Athletic Clearance Process

Downey High School utilizes the website athleticclearance.com to clear all athletes for participation. Download the complete instructions.

You will need a Physical Evaluation Form completed by a physician to submit online to  athleticclearance.com.
