Wilde Lake will hold the Winter Sports Information Night on Nov. 14th at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.  Parents with a student planning on trying out for a winter sports team should attend this meeting.  

Instructions for Sports Registration, DUE BY: Monday, November 13th (DO NOT SEND DOCUMENTS VIA EMAIL; FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS)

  • Go to https://www.hcpss.org/connect/ *Do NOT use your Mobile Phone.
  • Login to your HCPSS Connect Portal (Parents & Guardian MUST use the parental login.  Using your students' login info. will not allow you to register). Once logged in, go to the menu on the left and click the bottom option More Options (Family File, Reports Cards, etc.).  ​If you have more than one student, make sure you have selected the student from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.) 
  • Click on Athletic Registration on the right-hand side Menu, and select the correct season: Fall/Winter/Spring; 
  • Complete all the forms: Parent Authorization Form, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Form, and Concussion, and please complete all additional documents…Do not skip or leave any boxes blank. 
  • Physical Examination Form: Verification of an examination within 12 months of the tryout date for the particular sport must be submitted in each academic year of participation. Upload ALL pages of the Physical Examination Form.  Older physicals will not be accepted. https://www.hcpss.org/athletics/forms-and-guidelines/ (Physical Forms can be found here to bring to the doctor’s office) 
  • Upload a RECENT Utility bill (October/November BGE Bill for Winter Sports), which must be the actual bill.  Older Utility bills will NOT be accepted.  Utility examples: BGE, Water, OR Cable Bill ONLY (Must match the address the school has on file for enrollment). **No Cell Phone Bills will be accepted.** 

Common Errors:

  • File size may be too big on downloads. Make sure the document is under 4MB
  • Just because forms have been submitted, that does not necessarily mean they have been accepted
  • AAM will go through to ensure proper dates, signatures, and boxes are checked off and the address that matches Synergy's address.

**Reminder: Physicals for Athletics are different from those used to register to attend school.  The Athletic Physical includes a Clearance without restrictions by Medical Staff.

Please ensure physicals have all signatures (Parent/Guardian, Athlete, and Physician) before scanning and uploading.

**Returning Athletes - If a Student-Athlete is returning from Fall to play in the Winter and/or Spring season and wants to use their fall physical, the parent/guardian must click the checkbox (option to use physical on file dated) and save.  Otherwise, it’ll wait for a new one to be uploaded. Reminder: returning athletes must complete permission information and upload a new utility bill.

Academic Eligibility for Athletics

For high school, a full-time student earns academic eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities by maintaining a 2.0 grade-point average (GPA), calculated using credit or non-credit courses, with no more than one failing grade for the marking period which governs eligibility for that activity.

*All Students: 1st Quarter Grades are used for winter athletic eligibility
