Be A Viking Athlete

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:

• No more than 1 F on the most recent end of semester transcript

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).

• Parent/Guardian Consent: Please provide consent for your student to participate in Fall Sports through the following link: www.familyid.com/organizations/denver-north
• Pay to Play Fee: Submit your $60 pay to play fee through FamilyId website only. Cash or check will not be accepted at the school. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch may pay a reduced fee of $10.00 but will be required to provide proof of Free and Reduced Lunch status to the school.
• Physical Exam: A current physical exam must be submitted to the Main Office. If a student needs a physical, the Denver Health/Denver North school based clinic will open the week of July 29, and can provide this examination for free. Please call 720-423-2718 to make an appointment.
• Register with CHSAA: Students are required to register with CHSAA to track eligibility at https://www.planeths.com/
  • Some students have already created an account during the 2018-19 school year.
• *Academic Transcript review- Students that earned 2 Fs in the Spring Semester (incoming 10th grade-12th grade), will be ineligible to participate for 50% of the season

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.
