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, if applicable; this expectation is determined by each coach.

Managers at West Millbrook must complete the tryouts registration form below & have a complete Dragonfly account. After registering, managers need to email the coach directly to ask if there is a process and  learn if you should attend tryouts or not.  Cheer managers will start the first day of practice and will not attend tryouts.

Step 1- Register for Tryouts- the earlier, the better!

This form goes to our athletic directors. This forms the tryouts list and immediately allows us to start reviewing student Dragonfly and eligibility. Students should be reading their WCPSS email DAILY.

Step 2- Dragonfly Account -🎦Click here for Dragonfly instructions.and video tutorials 
Create a Dragonfly Account or review/update current paperwork on existing Dragonfly account. Schedule a sports physical, if a new one is needed- physicals are valid for 395 days. Ensure you use your child’s middle school graduation year.  Students will be contacted via email & guardian(s) will be contacted via Dragonfly message if there is an issue or missing document.

Dragonfly does not alert anyone when new documentation is uploaded and pending review. If you have Dragonfly documents pending review after registration, PLEASE email eprijatel@wcpss.net directly to ensure we review and approve eligibility for tryouts! 

step 3- Eligibility Review

Athletic directors review all Dragonfly documents in addition to the student’s grades and 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. 

If a student is eligible, an email will be sent to student email when they are “approved to play”.
If a student is ineligible; student and guardians will be notified via email. 

**spring sports only: Students will not receive an “approved to play” email until the end of Q2– spring sports eligibility is based on this 2023 fall semester attendance and grades.

Communication to student email: “approved to play”, incomplete Dragonfly account, info from coaches, or ineligibility information.
Communication to parents/adults:  via Dragonfly provided email address regarding expired or upcoming expiration of a physical/medical eligibility form on file, missing information,  etc. This can be used for communication from coaches in the future, also.
