ATHLETIC CLEARANCES: All student-athletes must be cleared by an athletic director or administrator to participate in CIF athletics. A step-by step process is here.

Important! Physicals must be dated after June 8, 2026 to be valid through the entire 2026-27 school year. Canyon Hills High School is hosting a district-wide physical event on June 13, 2026, and all current/future SDHS students are welcome to attend. Physicals are $10, cash only. Information is below.

SUMMER AND OFFSEASON PRACTICES: Several SDHS programs hold practices in the summers and out of season. These are organized through the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and require an active AAU membership. Individual sport coaches have more information on specific AAU teams. These practices are entirely optional and are not part of the CIF season, nor will they be used to select roster spots.If you would like to participate in summer workouts, the best way to do so is to reach out to the coach directly.

The San Diego High athletics department will continue to make every effort to maintain an accurate calendar, to include summer practices. That calendar is viewable on sdcavers.com (Menu – Calendars).
