In order to participate in tryouts or any other athletic activity, students must have registered online at
https://students.arbitersports.com/organizations/yorktown-high-school
This process will include uploading a valid, stamped VHSL physicals form and APS participation agreement. The VHSL physical form has changed as of April 2025 and the new form must be used moving forward (see attached form). Physicals are now valid for 14 months from the date of the doctor’s signature and families are responsible for ensuring they update their student’s physical within the 14 month period or the student will be ineligible midseason. Any physical dated after May 1, 2025 will ensure eligibility for the entire 2025-2026 school year.
Football (JV and V)
Tryouts begin August 4 and continue throughout the first week. Students should report at 2:30 pm on Monday, August 4 to the main gym. Practice/tryout times will be 2:30-5:30ish pm daily (M-F) with an occasional morning practice (7:30-10am-ish) when weather warrants. Students can’t join after August 6 unless space allows. There have been cuts the past few years and any decisions on who is on the team will be determined by the number of students attending tryouts and will be made by the end of the second week. Practices take place Monday-Saturday. All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.
Football (8th and FR)
Tryouts will be held Monday-Friday, August 11-15 from 2:30-5:30 pm. Students will not be allowed to join tryouts after August 13. Practice/tryout times might change after the first day to the morning hours (7:30-10 am) as required by weather. The team will hold practices on Saturday mornings in August. Team composition decisions are typically made by the end of the first week. 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 11 should disclose this information to the coach on August 11 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal.
