Happy 2022 Generals!  We are happy to report that the suspension on sports activities was just lifted and winter sports competitions are resuming. 

Because of space constraints due to winter sports' needs, we do not currently have available indoor space for Softball "Green Days."  We are hopeful that in a few weeks we may be able to schedule a few outdoor ones weather-permitting (at a minimum we'd be looking for weather in the high 40's).  So stay tuned for Green Day information.  (What is a "Green Day"?  It is an optional, out-of-season workout permitted to be held during specific time windows based on VHSL rules.  Green Days are a great way to dust off the rust and get to know other players and coaches).  

For the Spring season, here are some upcoming key dates (for Varsity and JV Softball):

Softball Interest Meeting (February TBD) -- We will be holding a softball "interest meeting" for prospective players after school.  We are waiting on further scheduling details to determine if the meeting is to be held indoors, outdoors, or remotely.

SOFTBALL TRYOUTS begin on February 21, 2022.  Tentative time for tryouts is 4:30-6:30 pm.  

Practices -- Teams practice Monday through Friday (excluding game days).  Practice times last year were 4:00-5:30 for JV and 5:00-7:00 for Varsity.  Some days we conduct joint practices.  

GAME SCHEDULE -- Tentative game schedule is already posted on the W-L athletics website.  

Eligibility -- all WLHS students who have completed their paperwork (see news post below) are entitled to try out.  8th graders who are slated to attend W-L next year are also permitted to try out for the JV squad.  

Please do not hesitate to contact Coach Gonzalez (703-309-1117) or Coach Walker (703-980-5656) with any questions.  

We have a new clearance process this year. The school transitioned to an online registration platform. 

Here you will be able to register for multiple sports/activities.

Please set up your family account:

https://wlathletics-ar.rschooltoday.com/

*Register for Athletics

*Upload VHSL Physical Packet

*Upload COVID Vaccine Information

The Athletic Clearance packet (physical form) is still required but will need to be uploaded along with the athletes vaccination card (if applicable) on their online registration account.  Once the family has registered, they will maintain this account from year to year.  This will cut down the multiple forms parents have had to complete season to season, year to year.  The Coaches will have access to team roster, athlete’s contact, and emergency info on their phone. Coaches will no longer accept hard copies of the physical form. 

Helpful Hints:

*Upload must be 1 document- scan or use your camscanner to make a pdf

*Need to walk away?  Finish using the incomplete registration button

*Student Does Not Exist- call the Activities Office at 703-228-6207 for assistance

*No need to create more than 1 account.
