Paperwork Requirements for Athletics:

In order to participate in pre-season activities and tryouts, all student-athletes must complete the following paperwork:
 
(1) FCCPS registration for the upcoming school year (for returning students via PowerSchool); (2) the online sports registration form, (3) a valid VHSL physical form (dated 5/1/23 or later), AND (4) the baseline concussion test (for contact sports only).
 
Your student-athlete may NOT participate in Athletics until ALL of the paperwork has been submitted and approved.  Once approved, you will receive an official clearance email from the Athletics Office.
 
1.  FCCPS Registration
All athletes must complete the registration process for Schools PRIOR to participating in tryouts.
 
Returning students may register via PowerSchool
 
 
 

2.  ONLINE SPORTS REGISTRATION FORM:

3.  VHSL Physical Form:
 
  • VALID DATES & OFFICIAL VSHL PHYSICAL FORM: Physical exams must be dated May 1st or later -- to be valid for the upcoming school year.  Such physicals are valid from May 1st through June 30th of the following year.  Only the official VHSL physical form will be accepted.
  • YES BOXES ON PAGE 2 OF PHYSICAL FORM: For any boxes that are checked YES on page 2 of the VHSL physical form (medical history), please provide an explanation in the area provided on the form.  The failure to provide a required explanation will cause the physical to be rejected, and will delay the final clearance decision for your athlete.
  • NO PHOTOS ACCEPTED: The Athletics Department will not accept photographs of physicals.  Physicals must be in the correct format (scanned PDF) in order to be submitted through the online sports registration system.  Photographs will cause the physical to be rejected, and will delay the final clearance decision for your athlete.
 
 
Download the physical form by clicking HERE. Please note that this is the only form the school will accept.

 

If your physical file is too large to upload on this registration website, please email a scanned PDF (again, photographs will not be accepted) to AD Brian Parke bparke@fccps.org AND ATC Coach Vicki Galliher galliherv@fccps.org.  Thank you!
