Pre-participation Physical Exams
To ensure the optimal care for your student-athlete, an athletic pre-participation examination is required. This can be downloaded from the buttons below, “participation requirements”. This tells the ATC if there are any previous medical conditions (i.e., asthma, heart conditions, epilepsy, etc.) so they can properly treat your student-athlete in the event of an emergency.
In addition, ImPACT baseline concussion testing is performed every two years (unless there is a concussion), to safely return your student-athlete to sport if they get a concussion.

Athletic Philosophy
The Damien Athletic department strives to create a safe and enjoyable environment for our over 60 sports’ teams that focuses on pride, unity and integrity.
We consider athletics an integral part of an educational environment and believe that participation in sports develops a healthy, well-rounded student. Physical fitness, discipline, and personal sacrifice promotes success in the classroom. While we strive to build competitive, successful teams, our primary goal is to make our student-athlete’s successful in the classroom and on the field of play and guide them to become caring and positive contributors to the community.
Our Goals:
To cultivate and maintain an atmosphere of spiritual growth, lifelong learning, solidarity with the underprivileged and poor, ethical behavior, and awareness of environmental issues.
To encourage high standards of performance and high expectations for learning on and off the playing field.
To continuously find ways to improve our programs to ensure a positive and nurturing experience for our student-athletes.
To endorse learning and professional development of our Athletic staff to enhance the student-athlete’s knowledge, skills and performance levels in efforts to achieve the highest level of success.
To maintain open and effective communication among our student-athletes, athletic department, faculty & staff, parents, administrators, and community.
To continue to integrate best practices into all phases of the athletic educational process.
To ensure that student-athletes and staff have a safe place to learn, work and compete.
Sportsmanship
Damien Memorial School, in conjunction with the Interscholastic League of Honolulu, believes that sportsmanship is an expectation from our players, our coaches and our spectators. We remind our fans to:
Let the players play, the Coaches Coach and the Officials Officiate. Cheer with Aloha!
