New Athletic Registration Process
Updated on 12/09/2024
Yorktown Student Athletes and Families,
Yorktown has transitioned to a new online student athlete registration system for submission of the VHSL Athletic Participation/Parental Consent/Physical Examination form and emergency care card. This process will help us minimize paper collection, streamline data entry, run compliance reports, and will reduce the number of forms that parents must fill out.
Each family will create one account to register all their children. Be sure to register your children for all the sports they might be interested in. While registering does not guarantee a spot on the team, this information will help to ensure your student is ready to go on the first day of tryouts. Students will not be allowed to try out if they are not registered for the specific sports they wish to try out for. Students may be registered for multiple activities throughout the year and families can sign in as needed to update information. It will be necessary to updat

Sign Up for Team App for Latest Information
Updated on 12/09/2024
All Yorktown sports will use Team App as the primary means of communication. Students and parents interested in any sport should download the Team App for the appropriate sport and sign up for the Pre-Season Training 2020-21 group to receive updated information when available. Once students make the team and/or the season commences for those teams without tryouts, the coaches will form communication groups for each team level (FR, JV, V) and parent groups.
It is recommended a student considering both lacrosse and soccer sign up for both groups at this time so they are aware of the possible off-season opportunities, recognizing the student will only be able to tryout for one team later in the school year. Being a member of multiple groups in the off-season is allowed.
All Yorktown teams are labeled in the Team App as YHS - "Sport Name"
