Welcome to the FDHS Department of Athletics. We are dedicated to fostering both physical and mental development of our students as a part of our athletic programs.  When participating in or attending an event we expect our students to represent themselves as young adults.  It is our hope through mental and physical development our students can fully benefit from the opportunities awaiting them in post-secondary education and training program. 

Fall Season start date: August 11th. Please contact the designated coach for more details about tryouts and practices. All athletes must be approved on formreleaf.com. If you have questions about that contact our Athletic Director (info above).

Steps for being approved to participate in athletics:

1. Get an up to date Sports Physical
2. Complete all registration items and upload a scanned copy of your physical to formreleaf.com
3. Await approval status on formreleaf. (You should receive an email notification. You may need to check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox.)
4. Status must be Approved (Once everything is completed the athletic director reviews everything and gives the final approval. This cannot be done by a coach)

All documents you may need:  

• Sports Physical  | Spanish version
• Medical Card (type, print and sign)
• FDHS Formreleaf Registration (select all sports student may participate in)
• Full Participation Packet (only to be used if specifically directed by our Athletic Director, otherwise all registrations are done through formreleaf.com)

Eligibility  

As with any extra curricular activity in PG County all athletes must meet academic guidelines.  Students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher to participate.  Any final quarter grades prior to or during the season determine a player's eligibility.  

Sports Seasons 

Please refer to the MPSSAA Handbook for updated season dates each year.

The sports season first practice dates are as follows:

• Fall season starts the 6th Wednesday following the first Sunday of July (For 2021-2022 the start date was August 11th)
• Winter season starts November 15th*
• Spring season starts March 1st*

 *When November 15th or March 1st falls on Sunday, practice will start the preceding Saturday.

All athletes must participate in a certain number of practices prior to playing in an official game/competition. This means students need to complete all participation requirements as early as possible so they can begin practice on the first day of the season.

Tryouts & Interest Meetings

Each sport has individual tryout dates and times.  If the information is not provided on the sport's web page please contact the coach directly.  VERY IMPORTANT - All student athletes must complete their profile on formreleaf.com, provide a printed copy of the Medical Card and upload their complete Sports Physical. 

For those interested in additional insurance to cover injuries during a sports season K and K Student Insurance offers a plan.
