Dear Parents,

As the school year winds down, here are a few reminders to help you and your child prepare for participation in a sporting event for the 2026-27 school year.

PHYSICALS

Summer Physicals at West York

• We will host summer physicals at the high school on two dates this year:
• May 13 & July 23 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
• Any student entering grades 7-12 may participate in summer physicals
• Please take advantage of these opportunities so that you don’t have to rush to get a physical completed right before the season starts
• The physicals will cost $20. You may pay with cash or checks.
• Make checks payable to West York Area School District

Physicals on Your Own

• If you don’t get a physical at the school, you must have a physical that is dated after May 1, 2026 and on a PIAA physical form in order to participate in a school sport.
• You do not have to fill out the entire PIAA packet. All of that information gets filled out on Family ID. You should only need Section 5 & 6 of the PIAA packet when going to get a physical.
• Physicals may be acquired at your family doctor, OSS, or any urgent care facility

NOTE: Once you get a physical, you are covered for the entire school year. Even if you only play a winter or spring sport, getting a physical done over the summer gets it out of the way and you don’t have to worry about it later on.

FALL SPORTS SIGN UPS

• Fall Sports Registration (Family ID)

• Registration for Fall Sports opens on May 1 so that you may begin the registration process while you are waiting for your child to complete their physical

• If you attend the summer physicals, we will provide Chromebooks for you to use while you are waiting

• This is a great opportunity for anyone that struggles with the Family ID registration process to get help from someone from the Athletic Department

FIRST DAY OF FALL PRACTICES

• Football (High School Only) & Golf - August 10

• All other sports - August 17

• Check with the coaches for any preseason/summer workout information

MARCHING BAND SIGN UPS

• Anyone that is planning on participating in the marching band will need to sign up on FamilyID (starting May 1).

• You do not need a physical to only participate in marching band

WINTER/SPRING SPORTS SIGN UPS

• Winter sports registration will not open until early October

• Spring sports registration will not open until late January

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact the Athletic Department at wybulldogathletics@wyasd.org.

Thank you,
