In order to be eligible to tryout and participate on a sports team at Cathedral Catholic, you must first complete the athletic clearance process EVERY SCHOOL YEAR. All online paperwork must be filled out completely and physicals uploaded to Home Campus' site. You must be fully enrolled at Cathedral Catholic to be considered and a parent meeting must be attended.
Failure to complete any steps of the clearance process will prevent your student-athlete from tryouts, practices, and competitions. You are encouraged to complete the process early so we can help troubleshoot any possible issues prior to the start of your student-athlete’s sport.
Step 1 - Create an Online Clearance Profile on Home Campus (forms open on June 9th)
Cathedral Catholic High School Athletic Department utilizes the third party website, Home Campus, for athletic registration. Parents must register their student(s) for each sport they will be participating in. Athletic Clearance for the 2025 - 2026 school year will open on
June 9, 2025. Note: If your student-athlete plays multiple sports, you can add another sport on the confirmation page, but you DO NOT need to complete a 2nd registration for the additional sport(s).

- Files - UPLOAD PHYSICAL - CCHS Physical Exam Form or the form from your doctor that clearly states you are cleared for athletics.
- Athletic physicals must be completed on or after June 6th and are valid for one school year.
- They must be completed by a licensed healthcare provider in California. This includes a physician (MD/DO), physician’s associate (PA-C), or a nurse practitioner (NP).
- Please note that you can skip this step if the physical has yet to be completed. You can upload it at a later date or have it brought into the athletic office. Your student-athlete WILL NOT be cleared without a valid physical on file.
Once the above steps are completed, you will receive a “CONFIRMATION MESSAGE” from Home Campus. Your student-athlete’s clearance is now ready for review by the athletics department. Their status will remain "PENDING" until the rest of the clearance process is complete.
YOUR STUDENT ATHLETE IS NOT CLEARED YET! Continue through steps 2, 3, and 4.
Step 2 - Transfer Paperwork & Meeting (only where applicable)
You are considered a transfer athlete if you fall under the following two categories:
- New incoming 10th, 11th, or 12th grade student
- OR a 9th grade mid-year transfer
If these categories apply to your child, you must meet with one of the athletic directors before they can be cleared to participate. Please reach out to athletics (if you haven’t been in contact already) at atheleticdirectors@cchsdons.com to set up an appointment. This process can take some time so please don’t wait to set up an appointment.
Step 3 - Mandatory Parent Meeting
All rising sophomore, junior and senior parents must attend a meeting with the school administration about student behavior and priorities for the 2025 - 2026 school year. Incoming freshman parents and transfer families are not required to attend this meeting because they will attend a parent orientation on Saturday, August 9, 2025.
This annual meeting will be educational, informative and will help improve communication between home and school. Student handbook topics and other important information will be shared over an hour-long presentation from the Dean of Students, Athletic Directors, Student Life Director and President.
Students will not be able to participate in any extracurricular activities next school year unless a parent attends one of the meetings. Parent attendance will be confirmed by a parent signing out of the meeting at its conclusion. Each meeting will start promptly at the identified time and parents will not be allowed to join the meeting after it starts.
No RSVP is required. Please select one of the following meetings to attend:
- Tuesday, June 3, 8-9 am, in the Claver Center
- Tuesday, June 10, 6-7 pm, in the Claver Center
- Monday, August 11, 6-7 pm, in the Claver Center
Step 4 - Pick Up Clearance Card from Athletic Office
Once the above steps have been completed, the athletic department will generate a CLEARANCE CARD that each student-athlete must pick up
PRIOR to the 1st day of tryouts/practice.
Clearance cards are
MANDATORY and the student-athlete will not be allowed to participate in athletics without it.
If your student-athlete plays multiple sports, please note that they must come to the athletic office to receive a new clearance card for each sport. No exceptions will be made so plan accordingly.
