The Winter Sports Season is exactly ONE MONTH AWAY, with the first day of tryouts on Friday, November 15th! This next month will go quickly, so here are some reminders for all student-athletes/families who intend to tryout for a winter sport. There are a lot of them, so please make sure to read carefully!
Winter Sports Registration is OPEN through HCPSS Connect! ALL athletes must complete the registration documents by Wednesday, November 13th in order to participate in tryouts. Click here to begin registration: https://www.hcpss.org/connect/
Student-athletes who already played a fall sport will only need to complete the Athletic Participation Form, Residency Verification, and be Academically Eligible.
Student-athletes who have not yet played a sport this year will need to complete the full-round of Athletic Paperwork, including obtaining a Sports Physical, and being Academically Eligible.
Winter Sports eligibility is based on final Quarter 1 grades. Quarter 1 ends on Wednesday, October 30th. Student-athletes must hold a 2.0 GPA with no more than one “E” at the conclusion of Quarter 1 in order to be considered Academically Eligible.
Sports Physicals can take place through your doctor, an urgent care, or for FREE in the School-Based Wellness Center at WLHS! In order to get a FREE physical at school, you must have an appointment scheduled. Email HowardSBWC@howardcountymd.gov OR call 410-313-6362 to enroll and schedule your physical. Sports Physicals can be scheduled every Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday between the hours of 8:00am-4:00pm.
Tryout days and times, as well as contact information for our winter coaches, can be found on our Wilde Lake Athletics page. Please note that tryout times are subject to change, so check this site over the course of the next month and reach out to the head coach or myself with any questions.
