Football Merchandise Store Open Extended to Wednesday 8/16!
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.
Football Merchandise Store Open until Aug 16
Girdles will be available for purchase at practice this week on Friday for JV/Varsity players. In addition, we will be having a player only flash sale of select T-shirts and Dri-Fit shirts on Friday. There are limited quantities of shirts and we’ll be selling them at substantial discounts to help make room for this year’s inventory, so make sure your player sticks around after practice to update their player wardrobe. We’ll also be at practice next Friday/Saturday with Girdles and shirts for the Freshman team. We are able to accept credit cards and ApplePay/GooglePay this season in addition to cash and Venmo.

Tryouts begin Aug 1 and Aug 7 for Freshmen – PLAYERS MUST BE REGISTERED 3 DAYS BEFORE TRYOUTS!!
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.
