North High has a thriving athletics program and we want your student to be involved and engaged!
To try out for and participate in Viking Athletics, students must either attend North High, CEC Middle College, DMHS, attend neighborhood high school and/or live in the North High boundary. If the student does not attend North High School, the family will need to complete the Student Without a Program Application.
The progress and eligibility for each student will be reviewed every Thursday, at 8 a.m. Any assignment submitted after 8 a.m. on Thursday will not count towards eligibility. Weekly consists of the following:
In order to tryout, scholar-athletes and families must submit the following items in order to receive their Golden Ticket into tryouts and official practices.
Fall Sports, which includes Boys Soccer, Cheerleading, Boys Tennis, Football, Softball, Boys Golf, Volleyball, and XC will begin with tryouts and official practice on Monday, August 5th (Boys Golf) and Monday August 12th (Boys Soccer, Cheerleading, Boys Tennis, Football, Softball, Volleyball, and XC).
All students must provide documentation to their Coach that they have been approved for tryouts. Previously this was known as the Golden Ticket.
FamilyID has recently improved their processes so that we can pass along these efficiencies along to families. The Golden Ticket is now an email that the family will receive from FamilyID. (Please note that the physical exam still needs to be dropped off to the main office. We need a hard copy on file.)
The North HS Athletic Office will initiate an email from FamilyID that shows Approved once the below registration items have been submitted. Coaches will have a running list of students that have been approved for tryouts.
Current 8th Graders can get involved in North High Vikings Athletics! Typically beginning May 1st, current 8th/incoming 9th grade students and current 9th – 11th graders can participate in Futures opportunities in Football, Volleyball and other sports.
