Athletic Clearance
Paper packets and clearance nights are a thing of the past. All athletes must register through AKTIVATE.
SPORTS PHYSICALS ARE NOW REQUIRED EVERY YEAR. A free Physical Night will be held at DHS Commons on May 30, 2023 5pm - 6:30pm. Each athlete must have their own legal parent or guardian to accompany them throughout the process. You must have completed the History form before you arrive.
During the season, the athlete's primary commitment needs to be to the high school team that he/she is currently participating on. During the off-season, DHS adheres to NAC 386.696 (NRS 386.430). DHS does not require a pupil to participate in any athletic program for a sanctioned sport that is conducted before or after the season for that sanctioned sport. DHS does not require participation in any out-of-season activity to be able to participate in an upcoming sport.
*Click on the left side under "Forms" for the Off-Season Permit form.
- Students wanting to play a sport must have 2 or more credits and a 2.0 GPA or better from the previous semester to be eligible to play any sport.
- Completed registration on line at (RMA) RegisterMyAthlete is required each school year in order to participate. Physicals are required every 2 years from the date of last physical if without injury.
- Student and at least one parent must view the Drug Alcohol Presentation once during the high school career in order to participate in DHS Sports. This presentation is now online via the Douglas High Web Site.
