Tryout Information
SPRING tryouts registration closes February 14, 2025
this is to provide time for staff to review eligibility prior to tryouts.
All 7th and 8th grade students interested in participating in athletics must meet the eligibility requirements and athletic policies in order to tryout. WCPSS does not allow 6th graders to try out, but they may register to be a manager.
1️⃣REGISTER FOR TRYOUTS
Athletes must complete EACH SEASON. By completing the registration form, your name is added to the tryouts roster & triggers our athletic director team to start reviewing Dragonfly accounts and eligibility. Registering as early as possible only helps our athletic department support more athletes trying out and avoiding any issues with eligibility.

TEAM MANAGERS at West Millbrook must register for tryouts above and will need a complete Dragonfly profile which includes a sports physical.
- Some coaches make cuts for managers- make sure managers reach out to coach in person or email to learn their process.
- Managers that make the final team roster must have a complete Dragonfly profile within a week of making the team. Having your physical ahead of time is encouraged.
- Winter Cheer Managers must register & have a complete Dragonfly account prior to day 1 of tryouts. There is such a quick turnaround from fall to winter cheer that requires coach to be focused on competition preparation.

3️⃣Students sent an email “approved to play” or “action needed”
Athletic directors review all Dragonfly documents, student’s grades, and student attendance of the previous semester to ensure all eligibility requirements are met. If you are new to Wake County, this process may take longer as we wait to receive records.
Student-athletes should be checking their school Outlook email via Wake ID Portal daily.
**winter sports: your eligibility will be reviewed in the new year– make sure your fall semester grades and attendance comply with eligibility requirements!
**spring sports: students are sent a preliminary email stating Dragonfly is approved. Final “approved to play” email once their grades & academics are reviewed from semester 1– this is usually a few weeks prior to tryouts.
Students are expected to share/forward emails with their parents or guardians.
