Fall Sports Season Kickoff – Tryout & Practice Schedule

Dear ANCS Families,

We’re excited to kick off the 2025 Fall Sports Season! Because our season starts early, many tryouts and practices are scheduled for this week. This gives our coaches time to build their teams and get in as much practice as possible before our first games.

Weather Notice
In the event of inclement weather, we will notify families of cancellations by 12:00 PM (noon) on the day of the event via school communication channels.

Sports Physical & Registration
All students must have a current sports physical on file in order to participate in tryouts.

If you haven’t scheduled one yet, please do so as soon as possible. If you cannot get one before tryouts, please email Coach D directly.

Pre-register here: TeamSnap Registration Form

Questions?
Please reach out to Coach D at dprather@atlncs.org or contact the ANCS Athletics Department.

Eligibility Reminder
Only students at the Middle Campus may try out for athletic teams. Exceptions may be made for 5th graders only when:

  • There are minimal safety concerns for 5th-grade participation, and

  • There is low participation among 6th–8th graders

Historically, this has applied to girls’ basketball, girls’ soccer, and girls’ ultimate frisbee. If a sport is open to 5th-grade participation, we will notify families via the Courier before tryouts begin.

This policy is designed with both safety and access in mind to ensure a positive and developmentally appropriate experience for all student-athletes.

Thank you for supporting ANCS Athletics!

We’re looking forward to a great season ahead.
