In order to participate in athletics each student must receive their “golden ticket” from the athletic office prior to the first day of practice. This ticket verifies for the Head Coach of each program that the student athlete has paid their pay to play fee, submitted the FamilyID registration, created an account in PlanetHS (formerly knowns as ArbiterAthlete), and provided a copy of their current sports physical to the athletic office. Student athletes aren’t cleared to practice until they turn in their golden ticket to their coach.
2019 -2020 school year high school athletic (pay to play) fees are as follows:
A copy of your student’s current sports physical must be on file with the athletics office in order to participate. Be sure to make a copy for your own records before emailing it to our Athletic Secretary Carla Allen, Carla_Allen@dpsk12.org or hand delivering it to her or Ms. Rice the Athletic Director in the main office.

DPS schools collect admission to many sporting events, which in turn helps fund and promote our athletics programs at TJ. Outside sports do not collect admission unless the game is played at All-City Stadium. Generally, inside sports (basketball, gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, wrestling) collect admission. Tournaments and CHSAA playoff games will have separate pricing.
DPS Admission Prices*:
$5.00 for Adults
$3.00 for students without athletic pass/sticker
$1.00 for Senior Citizens (65 and +)
$1.00 for Elementary students
FREE for children under 3
Post-season games and tournament admission prices may be different – please check ahead of game times.
Adults and Students – Get Your Season Pass! Season Passes are $60 each, and can be purchased from our treasurer. A Season Pass gets you into all DPS league games (no post-season/tournaments) for FREE throughout the school year. If you plan to attend 12 or more games throughout the year, it is worth the money!
