All teams are using this website tool to get you information about your sport. If you do not see the information you need please contact Bob Nelson, Athletic Director.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The athletic programs at TRHS will stress interscholastic competition along with strong skill development and teamwork. Athletic and activity programs will compete in the Continental League 5A classification.
PARTICIPATION PRIVILEGE
Participation in extracurricular activities is encouraged as a part of TRHS's total educational program. Participation in interscholastic activities as a part of a school's educational program is a privilege and not a right. Students wishing to participate are required to meet standards of personal behavior and academic performance related to school purposes. In order to enjoy the privilege of extracurricular involvement in both athletics and activities, students must meet the eligibility requirements established by TRHS and the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA). These standards are outlined on the TRHS Athletic Website (www.trhsathletics.com). This includes all athletics, spirit teams, band, choir, theater, orchestra, speech, student government and any other organization that represents or competes at the high school level or any activity that is scored, ranked or rated.
ATHLETIC REGISTRATION
Students wishing to participate in the Athletic Program at TRHS must initiate the process as outlined below.
Athletic participation is a privilege, not a right. It is the student who must take responsibility for gathering needed information, completing, and submitting all required documentation on time to the Athletic Office. If the information is not available in the Athletic Office, you will be referred to the appropriate source.
TRHS ATHLETIC REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
You must receive Athletic Department clearance before the first practice date.
1. Must have all parts of the registration documentation completely filled out and properly signed.
2. Incomplete packets will not be accepted. Faxing is NOT an option.
3. All five items listed below must be submitted to the Athletic Department by the posted registration deadline date. Each day late = one day of missed practice. A student who does not register before tryouts may miss the opportunity to try out.
• Athletic Registration/Emergency Information Form (3 part document) - A new registration form is to be completed for each sport. Team managers must also turn in a completed registration form to ride school transportation.
• DCSD Interscholastic Participant Form (Physician's Permit) -This form is valid for one calendar year from the date of the exam. Once your physical has expired, you will not be eligible to practice or compete. Plan your physical in advance; it is
not the responsibility of the coach or Athletic Office to remind you to renew your physical paperwork. The original signed form is to remain on file in the Athletic Office.
• DCSD Training Rules/Advisement and Permit - This form is in effect throughout the period of the student's enrollment at TRHS, including all summer, holiday, and weekend days.
