In order to be cleared for each sport, you MUST complete the following four steps:
1. Complete a physical exam Please use this form: Athletic Pre-Participation Form
This Athletic Pre-Participation Form must be completed by a parent and doctor prior to the start date of your sport. For your convenience, Palma will offer sports physicals for fall season student-athletes on Wednesday, August 4th at 6:00pm in the Steve Clayton Memorial Gym. The cost is $25 each.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The state of California only accepts physicals that are signed, stamped and dated from an MD, DO or PA (DC and RN signed physicals are not allowed).
2. Register online via www.athleticclearance.com
Registration for all seasons is currently open. Parents and their student-athletes will need to visit the site, create an account and register for each sport you intend to play. For a tutorial on using athleticclearnance.com click here
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not register for all sports — only for the sports you are planning to play. You can log back into your account to add a sport at a later date.
4. Take and pass a Baseline Concussion Test
- All Palma High School student-athletes are required to take the Baseline Concussion Test every two years.
- If you are a freshman or new to Palma this year you will need to sign up for the Baseline Concussion Test.
- You will need to reserve your spot and arrive on time. Plan on the test taking 45 minutes.
- All Palma Junior HS student-athletes are required to take the test every year. Palma will offer testing for Junior HS student-athletes once school is in session.
- If you need to take the test you will need to do so only before the first sport you wish to play this coming school year.
PLEASE TAKE THIS TEST SERIOUSLY. It will be used as your baseline to evaluate any possible concussion symptoms in the event of an injury. If this test is not completed prior to the start of your season, you will be held out of all live contact until it is completed and logged.

Mindful of our primary mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, Palma School admits students of any race, color, national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students at the school. Palma School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin, nor age in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. While Palma School does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not be available. Likewise, Palma School does not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of gender, age, disability, race, color, and national and/or ethnic origin.
