Incoming Freshmen who are interested in joining one or more of the 26 sports teams at Westlake High School are encouraged to do the following:
Attend Future Warrior Night - WHS coaches, staff, and current players will be on hand to answer any questions about sports participation. Future Warrior Night is usually held during the first week of December.
Submit the WHS Sport Interest Form - Submitting this form will add students/parents to the mailing list for the chosen sports. Coaches and boosters will send out communication about upcoming camps, tryouts, and practices after MAY 1st. After May 1st, and once the student is enrolled at WHS, students/parents should reach out to the Head Coach of their desired sport(s) directly for information about joining the sport (WHS Coach Directory)
Complete Athletic Clearance - Athletic Clearance is a requirement that must be completed before a student may participate in sports in any way. This includes tryouts, practices, and team-sponsored clinics/camps. It is recommended that this be completed during the months of May or June for the upcoming school year so that the student will be cleared to participate in any summer activitites and so their medical clearance does not expire during their sport's competititve season.
Confirm Participation - Attend tryouts and/or summer activities if offered. Confirm with the coach that the student's name has been added to the roster for the sport they will be participating in during the Fall semester (do this before August 1st to insure the student is scheduled correctly for semester 1).
Be sure to check out the Athletics General Information page for more details.
