Middle school students must be accompanied by an adult to enter and remain with the student(s) during athletic events, this includes MS and HS athletics.  This is part of spectator and safety guidance for DPS athletic events.  The only exception is when middle school students have received invitations from the high schools.

Athletic Registration on DragonFly

Instructions for Dragonfly Registration can be found at:

https://www.dpsathletics.com/page/show/5932326-athletic-registration-

We will still need hardcopies of the Preparticipation Physical Evaluations (PPE) form, and Concussion form.

While DragonFly Max will walk you through the process, I wanted to provide you with some helpful insights and answer some of the main questions you may have.

• Both you (the parent/guardian) and the athlete will be added under George L Carrington.
• It will ask you to pick a sport for your child. This is NOT a guarantee your child will make this team, nor is it binding. After tryouts, I will go in and officially add each athlete to their appropriate team.
• Registration is good per school year. If you are registering them in the Fall, you do not need to pick their Winter and Spring sports because they might not know. Again, sports picked by you are not binding and we can change or add them however needed.

Once you have added your child/children please hit the submit paperwork button this new to all participants. ALL paperwork is not uploaded. We will not collect anything in person. It is all submitted and approved online. Please make sure you complete ALL sections.

When attending winter athletic events (basketball, wrestling) Mask must be worn at all times inside the building, No Re-Entry and Only one clear bag per guest, (spectators and students). The clear bag can be plastic, vinyl or PVC that is less than 12" x 12" x 6" exceptions will be made for medical and baby needs. Guest must adhere to the Department of Athletics' clear bag policy.
