Athletics

You can’t just show up to practice – there are some things you need to do to be “cleared” to participate:

• Complete two online forms at PuyallupSchools.RankOneSport.com (Done once each school year. Wait until August 8 to do these).
• Have a sports physical exam that is valid for the whole season (usually good for 2 years).
• Have a valid Baseline Concussion Screening if participating in basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, or wrestling.  (not needed for cross country or track)
• Purchase a Ferrucci Junior High School ASB card ($30).
• Pay the PSD Athletic Fee ($50). If you are trying out for a team that makes cuts (basketball, soccer, volleyball) you should pay the fees after you make the team, not before.

A Baseline Concussion Screening (BCS) is required for students participating in basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, or wrestling. Starting in August 2024 the BCS will no longer be required prior to the season for students to tryout for a team. Once teams are determined the BCS will be conducted during the season.

Fall Sports

• Thursday August 22th - 7th grade students 8:00 am - 12:00 pm (during Prep Day).  8th grade students from 12:30pm - 3:30pm.  

For winter I and winter II, it is usually early November and late January. For the spring sports, early April. This clearance card is your ticket to turn out for the team.

Cuts are made in some sports when there are more students turning out for a sport than there are roster spots. If cuts are made, there is a tryout process. Many athletic teams do not have cuts.
