All students must be registered with a valid VHSL physical uploaded into the registration system prior to participating in green days, tryouts or practices. Physicals are valid for 14 months and families are responsible for maintaining a current, valid physical in the registration system at all times.

Registration can be completed at https://students.arbitersports.com/organizations/yorktown-high-school

Students should sign up for Team App (www.teamapp.com) for all sports which they are interested in receiving additional information about.  Sport-specific information is posted to Team App for green days (off-season workouts), tryouts and practices.  Once registered for Team App, sign up for YHS - 'sport name" (ie - YHS - baseball or YHS - field hockey, etc).

Football (JV and V) - Tryouts are closed.

Football (8th and FR) – Tryouts begin on August 10 with arrival in the aux gym at 2:15 pm, followed by practice on the field 3-5:30 pm.  Students should bring a pair of sneakers in addition to any turf shoes (cleats) each day to practice.  Tryouts will continue the week of August 10, typically 2:30-5:30 pm daily M-F and Saturday morning.  However, there is a chance the weather might precipitate an early morning practice (7-10 amish) on any given day after August 10 (August 10 is set with arrival at 2:15 pm and will not change). If the tryout/practice time changes to morning, students will be notified in advance. Students will not be allowed to join tryouts after August 12. Team composition decisions are typically made by the end of the first week of tryouts.  All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 10 should disclose this information to the coach on August 10 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal.

Volleyball - Tryouts are closed.  All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.  As a team sport where players must learn to work together and perform as a group, players should not plan to miss any time after August 3 - doing so can result in removal from the team.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 3 should disclose this information to the coach on August 3 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal. Please complete this form if interested in trying out and be sure that you are signed up for Stack Team App to receive all volleyball communication.  Please note - players who make the team will have a team event Friday night, August 14, preceded by a parents meeting that evening.

Field Hockey - Tryouts are closed. All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year. As a team sport where players must learn to work together and perform as a group, players should not plan to miss any time after August 3 - doing so without prior disclosure before tryouts will result in removal from the team.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 3 should disclose this information to the coach on August 3 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal. Please complete this form to sign up.  Please feel free to reach out to Coach Olivia Shipley olivia.shipley@apsva.us with any questions.

Coed Golf – Tryouts are closed unless you have contacted Coach Williams.
