General Information 

• Cut Sports - Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball & Gymnastics are cut sports.  Athletes must be cleared to participate and be present for try-outs to make the team.  In the very rare circumstances that this is not possible, you must contact the athletic office and coach prior to try-outs.  Please note that vacation is not a valid reason for missing tryouts.  Athletes that are cut during tryouts will have an opportunity to switch over to one of our non-cut sports (we want you to be involved!) 

• Physicals - Sports physicals are required for participation.  The physical form can be found on FinalForms and must be filled out and signed by a doctor - appointments fill up quickly so please stay ahead of this.  You can email, drop-off, or upload the physical to FinalForms (pdf only please, photos don’t come through legibly).  Injury/medical questions are handled by our Athletic Trainer, Kayla Cunningham - Kayla.Cunningham@SeattleChildrens.org - Kayla is awesome and we are lucky to have her!

• Payments - You can satisfy the participation fees in 3 ways - pay via the LWSD payments site, speak with the bookkeeper about a payment plan, or if your family is qualified for Free & Reduced Lunch, you can have your fees waived.  More specific information regarding these options, and individual and family caps, are available via the Athletic Fees form during registration, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions - we are happy to help!  Also note that the payment button in FinalForms is a manual entry and will not update until the office reopens... if you've paid your fees, we'll get it squared away!

• Schedules - please visit ArbiterLive for up-to-date schedule information.  You can also “subscribe” to get notifications on schedule changes (especially helpful with weather changes).  Schedules are 99% complete, but there are often minor changes as registration helps schools determine numbers and what teams they will field.  https://arbiterlive.com/Teams?entityId=11485 

• Running Start Students - we must have a Running Start contract on file for you to compete (in any season) This form helps us make sure you are taking the proper number of credits to be eligible to compete.  We’re here to help with questions, but please make sure you have completed this important form and submitted to the athletic office (this can be found on FinalForms as you register).  

• Transfer Students - if you are a 10th/11th/12th grader planning to play sports and were not at Juanita HS last year, please reach out so we can ensure you are eligible to compete.  There is a packet of information we must complete together and I’ll walk you through this.  If you have any questions at all, please reach out!

For general questions, please email me or our wonderful athletic secretary, Ms. Kris Blanch (KBlanch@LWSD.org).

Always Grateful,
