The coaches, DSA, and Boosters will share important information about the upcoming season, player safety, equipment, and expectations. This is your opportunity to get all of your questions answered before the season fully kicks off. See you there!
As we kick off the season with today’s JV/Varsity tryouts we wanted to invite everyone to purchase Football merchandise from our dedicated store in advance of the season getting into full swing.
While we’ll still have our trusty merch table by the concession stand throughout the season, this is your chance to custom order the YHS Football items that you’d like to have in the sizes and quantities of your choice. Our merchandise team has done a great job selecting items for the store and it contains unique items and logos that are only available in the online store. The store will remain open through Wednesday August 16 – orders and cancellations can be made until that time. Link to the store is below.
Yorktown has a new online registration system which is required for trying out or participating in any
sport. This replaces the physical VHSL Athletic Participation/Parental Consent/Physical Examination
form and emergency care card which are now done electronically. 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 update this information each school year.
The only part of the physical which will need to be uploaded is the single doctor’s physical
examination page
Register at the link below at least three days prior to tryouts to allow time for processing.

If your child is interested in playing Freshman Football this fall at Yorktown, please consider attending our May Parents Meeting on Wednesday, May 17th at 7:00 pm in Patriots Hall (located across from the main gym). Our head coach, Bruce Hanson along with Coach McBride, head Freshman coach, will be there to talk to you about the YHS football program and answer any questions you may have. Even if your child has not decided, this meeting is a great way to understand exactly what to expect from the program in the event they do choose to play from practice requirements to type of equipment used to coaching style. We have a great set of coaches and most of them actually teach at YHS.
Freshman practices/tryouts begin around August 1. Practices are mandatory and you should expect practices to run Monday – Friday and Saturday mornings during August. All players must have a physical on file with the Athletic Department in order to play. A copy of the physical can be found here – https://www.yorktownsports.org/main/filesLinks/.
