Athletics & Activities REGISTRATION

Student eligibility for participation in Virginia High School League athletics and VHSL activities (One-Act Theatre, Debate, Scholastic Bowl, Esports) is governed by the rules of the VHSL. 

It is important to know that, by default, all students who change from one school to another are ineligible for VHSL athletic and activity participation at the new school. Students will be required to demonstrate that they satisfy the criteria of VHSL Rule 28A-7-1 (Transfer Rule) before they can be declared eligible to participate in any VHSL-sponsored program. General information about the VHSL Transfer rule can be found on this page: https://www.fcps.edu/get-involved/athletics/athletic-eligibility-and-transfer-gateway

To begin the application for eligibility following a change of schools please visit FCPS Guardian Transfer Eligibility Application.

General information about FCPS Student Athletics & Activities

Legislation introduced in the Virginia General Assembly and recently signed into law will result in two significant changes to the athletic pre-participation examination (physical) requirements for FCPS student-athletes:

• Beginning July 1, 2025, athletic physicals will be considered valid for a period of 14 months from the date the form is signed by the medical provider completing the exam.  This is the date on page 3 of the VHSL Athletic Participation/Parent Consent/Physical Examination Form (revised January 2021).
• Beginning May 1, 2025, FCPS student-athletes are EXPECTED to have athletic physicals completed on the new VHSL Athletic Participation/Parental Consent/Evaluation Form (revised April 2025). 

• VHSL physicals can be emailed to LBSSActivities@fcps.edu (single PDF document ONLY, no photos, Revised April 2025 version ONLY - instructions for electronic submission below), mailed to the school, dropped off in the main office, or handed in during Tryout Card Distribution. DO NOT GIVE PHYSICALS TO COACHES.

• A single PDF document including all pages of the VHSL form and any other related documents (doctor's notes, specialist clearance, Kaiser Permanente printouts) can be scanned and emailed to LBSSActivities@fcps.edu.
• If you do not have access to a scanner, you can use your phone!
  • iPhone Users: There is a built-in scanning feature in the 'Notes' app. Just start a new note, tap on the camera icon, and select 'Scan Documents'. Scan a page, select 'Keep Scan', and continue this process until you have scanned all necessary pages. Click 'Save' in the bottom right corner when finished. You can then tap on the document and email it!
  • Android Users: There is a built-in scanning feature in the 'Google Drive' app. Open your Google Drive and tap on the '+' in the bottom right corner. Select the 'Scan' option, which should open up your camera. Take a picture of the first page, click 'Done' and then make any adjustments. From here you will tap on the '+' icon in the bottom left corner to scan additional pages into the same document. Continue this process until you have scanned all necessary pages. Click 'Save' in the bottom right corner and then rename the document whatever you would like. You can then open the document and email it!
• Photo screenshots WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR VALID SUBMISSION. Photos are typically dark and/or poor quality by the time they travel through the FCPS email server, making it difficult to read them clearly. Please DO NOT send photos of this document.
