Athletics FAQ

How Do I Sign My Child Up For a Sport?

STEP 1 — Pay the participation fee according to the fee schedule. You can register online for the sports your child is interested in. STEP 2 – PAPERWORK- Obtain a PIAA CIPPE form (must be completed for each new school year) and sign the DCA Warriors Constitution. Paperwork is found in the Form Library. These must be completed before your athlete may attend practice. STEP 3 – Sign up for notifications on SportsYou. As always, schedules are subject to change at any time. Signing up for notifications on SportsYou is a must, and ensures that you will hear of changes to the schedule as they occur. Calling the office for this information is highly discouraged. Cooperative sponsorship athletes will hear about their schedules directly from their coaches. STEP 4 – Attend scheduled practices. As a general rule, practices take place on M, T, Th, F, from 3:15 – 5:30. Athletes are always bused to practice, where parents should pick them up at 5:30. Athletes will always be bused to and from competitions; however, parents are welcome to pick up athletes from competitions as long as the athletic department is notified in writing. Coaches will fine tune team specific information at their parents meetings, generally held the first week of practice. Step 5 – Familiarize yourself with the Athletic Handbook, which includes our philosophy of athletics, as well as all pertinent policies.

May My Student Driver Drive to Practices and Games?

Student drivers may drive themselves to practices only if the Student Driver and Permission to Ride Form is submitted to the office. Student drivers may drive other students only if both the driver and the rider have submitted this form. All athletes are expected to ride with their teams to competitions unless permission has been granted from the Athletic Director.

Where Are Sports Schedules Found?

What Do I Do If I Have More Questions?

It is impossible to address every policy and procedure in this format. Therefore, questions are not only expected but welcomed! It is our desire that every athlete and family have a good understanding of the Athletic Department's policies and procedures. Please direct all questions to Mr. Vinson until the coaches have their parent meetings. At these meetings, you will find out the best way to contact coaches for team-specific questions.

How Can I Be Involved?

The Dayspring Warriors Booster Club holds several fundraisers throughout the year in an effort to ensure all of our teams get the support they need. Be sure to check the Beacon for upcoming events and fundraisers!
