Athletic Clearance Form
Participation in athletics in the Victor Valley Union High School District (VVUHSD) means more than competition between individuals or teams representing different high schools. It teaches fair play, sportsmanship, understanding, and appreciation of teamwork.
A strong commitment and hard work is a path that leads to success. Participation on an athletic team is a privilege that is extended to every student who is eligible under regulations set up by State CIF and VVUHSD. With every privilege comes responsibility. The conduct of a VVUHSD athlete is closely observed by many people. An athlete is representative of a team, the school and the community. lt is important, therefore, that a VVUHSD athlete be at all times and in all places, a gentleman or lady. Any situation not specifically covered in this code will be referred to the Athletic Director.
