Athletics

The philosophy of the Department of Athletics, as espoused by the Athletics Director and the entire coaching staff, is to foster mutual respect among participants, instill a commitment to excellence within each athlete and to promote team unity, cooperation and self-discipline. Further, individual athletes are encouraged to become the finest athlete possible, learning life-long team-building skills and how to discern the appropriate value of sports.

OLP remains at the forefront of athletic recognition with annually over 500 student athletes across 20 competitive CIF interscholastic athletic programs, alongside 4 Club Sports teams, with scaled levels of participation within each sport. 

  1. Fall : Cross Country | Flag Football | Golf | Tennis | Volleyball
  2. Winter: Basketball | Soccer | Water Polo
  3. Spring: Lacrosse | Beach Volleyball | Softball | Swimming & Diving | Track & Field
  4. Year-Round and Off-Season: Archery | Cheer | Surf | Dance | ESports

If you are planning to try out for a sport, you will need to complete the online Athletic Clearance Registration. You will need to upload a new physical, dated June 1, 2023 and newer.

  • If you have already turned in a current physical (dated after June 1, 2023), there is no need to upload it again.
  • Once your account has been reviewed, you will receive an email from the Athletics Department that you are cleared to tryout. Please print that message and bring it to your coach on the first day of tryouts. Tryout information will be posted once we have additional information.

As a reminder, you will still need to upload both sides of your physical and complete this process each time you try out for a different OLP sport.
