WHAT DO I NEED FOR TRYOUTS?  

1. Click HERE to fill out the registration form from Poudre School District. If you are new, you will have to create an account.

• Scroll down, click on High School Sports > click on Register for Fossil Ridge High School Athletics > click sign in or register > fill out the info and submit> *print a copy of the receipt that is emailed to you. 

• There is a $205 district athletic fee to participate in athletics - this if 100% refundable if you don't make/join the team.  Once you register, you can pay this via SchoolPay or with a check to your current school (if within PSD). *Print a receipt of your payment.

• 
  

2. Sports Physical Release Form 

• you MUST USE THIS FORM to give to your doc to fill out your physical: CHSAA PARTICIPATION PHYSICAL EVALUATION

• you need an appt with your child's doc or you can do a walk in sports physical at UCHealth Urgent Care (I believe it's $40) or you can go to the King Sooper's on North College (I hear it's called The Little Clinic) and do a walk in sports physical.

• *make a copy for your records. One will go to Carrie Hintzman at the Fossil Ridge Athletic Office. Make a note on your calendar when this was done because it will expire in a year. You have to have a current physical on file to tryout and remain eligible to participate in dance all year long. 

3. Orange Card

• You will come to our Athletic Secretary, Carrie Hintzman, in the Fossil Ridge athletic office. Let her know you are trying out for the dance team and bring the following with you to obtain your Orange Card.

  1. Copy of the PSD registration reciept from your email.

  2. Copy of a physician signed Sports Physical Release Form (from your pediatrician/family doc).

  3. You will need to bring in a reciept from SchoolPay showing you paid the $205 participation fee. *8th graders, I believe you have to pay your school with a check as the high school fee will not show up on your SchoolPay account. When you pay, they will give you a receipt. Carrie needs that receipt. 

• Carrie will give you an Orange Card. You will bring the Orange Card to the coach on the first day of try-outs.  You CANNOT participate in tryouts without the Orange Card - no exceptions.  Please email frsabercat.dance@gmail.com if you have questions.  

3. Fill out this registration form for the Dance Team: FRDT REGISTRATION FORM

4.  Don't forget to email your TEACHER RECOMMENDATION FORM to 2 teachers. We must get them back prior to tryouts. 

5. $15 Tryout Fee - bring cash or check (made to FRDT) with you on the first day of tryouts. You can also Venmo @FRDT-Boosters. This covers payment and dinner for our judges.  

6. Please bring a 4x6 or 5x7 headshot of yourself. This does not need to be a professional or dance picture - just a way for judges and coaches to put a face with a number :)
