Students interested in participating in winter sports must complete their registration by 6:00pm on November 13. Sports offered are basketball, wrestling, swim and dive, and indoor track. All sports are offered for both girls and boys. Tryouts will begin on November 15.

Parents can register students through ParentVUE. Make sure all required forms, including a valid physical, are submitted before participation. Keep in mind physicals are valid for 13 months after the date of the exam.

Students must maintain academic eligibility throughout the entirety of the winter sports season. These requirements state that a student must have no lower than a 2.0 unweighted GPA, with no more than one E in the previous marking period. First-time 9th graders are automatically eligible for the year.

After registration, parents will receive a confirmation email from Ms. Magness, Watkins Mill’s athletic director. If you do not receive a confirmation email, you are not registered for participation.

Watkins Mill encourages you to participate this winter season as sports are a great way to stay active, make new friends, and show your school spirit!
