Register My Athlete

We use FamilyID for our athletics registration process. The Somerville Public Schools FamilyID site is translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole for the convenience of parents, guardians, and students. Please allow 15-20 minutes to register each child for a sport.

Athletic Clearance

Athletes may not participate in any of our sports programs until they have received approval through the Athletic Department. Clearance is a two-step process designed to ensure that all athletes are healthy for participation and that both parents/guardians and athletes understand the inherent risks that accompany athletic competition. Once an athlete receives athletic clearance, it is valid for that sports person only. Athletes must repeat the process each season they plan on participating in our programs.

The following steps must be completed in order, or your athletic clearance will be delayed:

1. Registration on Family ID
2. Attending a mandatory medical clearance event
