Paying participation fees: Fees can be paid in the Veracross Parent Portal under the “Payments” tab. Links will be live there soon.
Competition Schedules: All sports game schedules can be found on the AHS Athletics Calendar. The games will be added to the schedule as soon as each team’s schedule is finalized.
Practice Schedules: Most varsity teams will hold practice M–F on days they do not have competitions. Subvarsity teams may practice less often, depending on several factors.
Team Communications: Teams create chat groups using apps like Ollie, GroupMe, or WhatsApp to share detailed and up-to-date information. Once students make a team, they will be added to the team chat. Parents can also join team chats. In some cases, player and parent chats will be separated so parents only receive vital communications and not the day-to-day chatter of the team chat.
Notes
- Students may participate in more than one spring sport if BOTH coaches agree to make accommodations to make that possible.
- The AHS Full Participation Policy allows students to participate in athletics AND choir or orchestra but not drama. Students need to choose between playing a spring sport or being in a spring drama production. The AHS policy also means that all students will have the opportunity to participate on a team each season. In most cases, student athletes will be able to participate in their preferred sport. With more than 40 teams across nine sports, we make a very concerted effort to create a spot for all students. But due to limitations to team size, coaches’ bandwidth, and to provide a positive experience for players, student athletes may be offered an alternative sport to participate in. In the fall, the alternative sport is cross country. In the winter and spring, the alternative sport is Track and Field. Depending on the team situation, a coach may form a JV or developmental team. Playing time is an earned privilege, not a right. Though a student may make a team, he or she may or may not see significant playing time in games. Coaches make these decisions based on what is in the best interest of the team.
