If you’re thinking about playing an OSAA sport at Centennial High School, there are several steps to tackle before you step foot on a field or court. The athletic clearance process has a few steps to it, so get the following items completed prior to turning out for a sport: (Taken from an athletic department flier.)

1. Enter the athletic office to ask the question “What do I need to do in order to get cleared?”
2. Secure paper instructions from Athletic Director Brent Child or Secretary Stephanie Core on how to register with Rank One Sports. Rank One is an electronic athletic sports management website.
