McAuliffe Winter Prep Sports Registration
The deadline to register for Winter Prep Sports is Friday, December 6th at 6:00pm. There are no exceptions to the deadline as registration will close in Arbiter. I will be sending emails on Saturday, December 7th regarding tryouts and information to everyone who has completed registration by 6:00pm on Friday, December 6th. Emails will go to the parent/guardian emails you submit within Arbiter.
Tryout Dates/Practice Info:
Due to the mass influx of emails, I don’t send confirmation emails for registration or physicals. I apologize for the inconvenience, I just don’t have the time. You will get a registration confirmation email from Arbiter when you submit the registration with the physical and payment. If I am missing something I will reach out to you. All of this information is on the McAuliffe Athletics Website.
Tryouts for winter sports are competitive. Coaches will be selecting players based on their skill level. Cuts will be made at the discretion of the coaching staff. I will also be reviewing all students’ academic standings prior to tryouts. If your student has seven or more missing assignments, they are ineligible to play. We will let them try out, but that information will be provided to the coaches, and will be an automatic cut. Your player must attend each day of their scheduled day of tryouts to be considered for the team. The exception to this is if your player received approval from the coach in advance of the tryouts. A no show on the scheduled tryout day is an automatic cut.
If you have any questions, please contact Natalie Barrios at n_barrios-marquez@dpsk12.net.
