Step 1.  Register for Tryouts on the WMS Google Form

Athletes must complete EACH SEASON. By completing the registration form, your name is added to the tryouts roster & triggers our athletics department to start reviewing Dragonfly accounts and eligibility (click). Registering as early as possible only helps our athletic department support more athletes trying out and avoiding any issues with eligibility. WCPSS does not allow 6th graders to tryout but they may register to be a team manager.

Managers must complete the tryout registration form below & have a complete DragonFly account. After registering, managers need to email the coach directly to ask if there is a process for becoming a manager and learn if they need to attend tryouts or not.

Fall Tryout Registration Form (Click) –The First day of Tryouts is August 31, 2026. Registration closes August 27, 2026.

Winter Tryout Registration Form (Click) — The First day of Tryouts is November 16, 2026. Registration closes November 12, 2026.

Step 2: Update or Create a DragonFly Account Before Tryouts

DO NOT SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTS TO THE FRONT OFFICE– ALL SPORTS PHYSICAL DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE UPLOADED TO DRAGONFLY

1. Parent/Guardian creates a Dragonfly Account for themselves  THEN create a profile for their child. Already have an account? Just login & update your existing Dragonfly account (click)

2. Click here for Dragonfly instructions.and video tutorials 

3. Complete electronic forms on Dragonfly profile. See Mrs. Rurkowski for help.

Step 3: Eligibility Review & “Approved to Play” List

The Athletic Director reviews all DragonFly documents, student’s grades and attendance of the previous semester to ensure all eligibility requirements are met. If you are new to Wake County Schools, this process may take longer as we wait to receive records.

If a student is eligible, their name will be added to the approved to play list posted outside of the Athletic Director’s office.

Winter Sports: Eligibility will be reviewed in the new year, make sure your fall semester grades and attendance comply with eligibility requirements.

Spring Sports: An approved to tryout list will not be posted until the end of Q2, and after Winter Sports Eligibility has been reviewed for the new semester. Spring sports eligibility is based on this 2026 fall semester attendance and grades.
