Fall  tryouts will begin Monday November 17th after school and end at 5:00pm. All rides should be here at 5:00pm. After the first day of tryouts, coaches will communicate with players about remaining tryout days, times, team selection, first practice, and parent meetings. 

Students who previously registered for Fall Sports need to simply ensure that they have also selected Winter Sports Tryout Registration as a team and that their physical does not expire prior to tryouts.

Tryouts are open to 7th and 8th graders. In order to tryout, parents must complete the following by November 12th :

Parents must upload all of the required paperwork (primarily pages 6 and 7, the up-to-date physical) to DragonFly: http://dragonflymax.com/forms/5H5V9H

• The only form you will need a hard copy of for DragonFly is the Pre-Participation Physical Examination Physical Examination Form (page 6) and Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation Medical Eligibility Form (page 7). All other forms are completed electronically in DragonFly.
• Returning Students: Select Add/Change Sports to connect to the 2025-2026 Tryout Lists.
• You must have all green checks to be complete in DragonFly. Make sure to check your email and Dragonfly regularly account until you get all green checks.
• If you are unable to complete your forms via DragonFly you may still submit paper forms to Mr. Robison or drop them off in the front office. All students must submit a 2025-2026 Middle School Athletic Participation Form for the 2025-2026 school year.  Physicals are good for 395 days.

Below are a few answers to common eligibility questions:

How is Eligibility Determined? – Eligibility is based on the previous semester.  Students must meet academic and attendance standards (see below).

• Fall Sports – 2nd Semester of previous (2024-2025) school year.
• Winter Sports – Begin with 2nd semester of previous year.  The semester changes over in January, so eligibility for basketball and cheer will be reevaluated during that time.
• Spring Sports – Based on First Semester of current School year. For more details, check out the WCPSS Athletics Webpage.

How many absences can you have and still be eligible? – Students must have been present for 85% of the days in the previous semester.  IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THEY ARE EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED. For most students this means that 12 or 13 absences are the most allowed, depending on what track they were on.

What grades are required to be eligible? – You must pass 70% of classes in the previous semester. For most students this will mean passing 5 out of 6 classes.  The most current guidelines are found at https://www.wcpss.net/u/~board/family-resources/post/middle-school-sports 1
