Early Fall Prep Sports

Welcome back McAuliffe Families!

Sign-ups for the early fall prep league athletic season are closed. Late fall sport registration will be opening soon! We will be offering girls and boys flag football. Please make sure to get a copy of your child’s sports physical, we can’t accept Wellness visit notes, a physical must state your child is cleared to participate in sports, the exam date (valid for 365 days), and the doctor’s signature (e-signatures are not allowed). Please see the steps you will need to complete below once registration is opened.

To tryout, parents/guardians will need to:

  1. Complete the registration in Arbiter – this is new, and all families MUST register here – Registration is closed now.
  1. You will complete everything within Arbiter – upload your athletes physical, and complete payment. 
  2. You must submit your completed registration with your student’s valid physical and payment for your student to be on the tryout list or roster (cross country), they can’t participate until these have been completed. 

Due to the mass influx of emails, I don’t send confirmation emails on physicals or sign-up forms. 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. 

Tryouts for prep league 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. I know it’s the beginning of the year, and this shouldn’t be an issue for any student, this is my expectation every season. 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. 

Early Fall Season Dates:  9/3/2024 – 10/19/2024 – Baseball, Cross Country, and Girls Soccer
