Athletic Clearance Process

Parents are encouraged to use the Sportsnet website to fill out all forms related to Athletic Clearances: 

• Go to smuhsd.org 🡪 Departments 🡪 Athletics 🡪 Athletic Clearance 🡪 "Mills High".  
• First-time users will need to set up an account or returning users should enter their previously selected username and password to log-in. 
• After the packet is completed and submitted, a confirmation email will be send to your email address. 
• Physicals that have not yet expired (were completed within the last year) and are on file in the MHS Health Office can be used until they expire (physicals are good for one year to the date) and do not need to be resubmitted. 
• Physicals must be fully completed by a M.D., D.O., P.A. or N.P. 

• The health aide Mrs. Durham will review the forms and provide the athlete with the necessary paper to submit to the coach on the first day of practice. 
• NO ATHLETE MAY PARTICIPATE IN ANY TRYOUT OR PRACTICE WITHOUT FIRST SUBMITTING THE ENTIRE PACKET ON SPORTSNET FOR MRS. DURHAM to CLEAR.

• IMPORTANT: If you are a transferring student from another high school, please notify Mrs. Durham in the Health Office when turning in sports forms.
