Football Tryouts – All Teams

by

Fall sports tryout information is posted below. The most updated information is always available at www.yorktownsports.org under announcements. Last Updated – July 25

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.

Discount Card Sales

by

The football team will be offering the Discount Cards as we do every year, but this year we are planning to sell them differently. Instead of players visiting the neighborhoods door to door, we will collect the orders online. You’ll still get to see our players though – they’ll be delivering your cards to you on August 16 and 17. So be sure to order your cards here – LINK

JV and V Schedule Adjustment – August 8 and 9

Due to delays in installation of the track from the vandalism early in the project, striping of the track will not take place until August 8.

Tryouts for JV and V football will proceed as originally scheduled, Monday, August 5 through Wednesday, August 7 with arrival at 2 pm at the Yorktown field each day.

On August 8 and 9 (Thursday and Friday), football tryouts will be held at 9:30 am-Noon at Washington-Liberty field.

The location and time of tryouts on Saturday, August 10 has not yet been established but will either be in the morning or early afternoon hours.

We expect to be back at Yorktown’s field on Monday, August 12 for freshmen tryouts and JV/V practice in the afternoon.

We apologize for any inconvenience this shift to morning practices on August 8 and 9 causes for players trying out and their families.
