Athletics

General Information

Dear Parents,
The county is moving to a digital platform for all registration and documents for Physicals. They will be using the Aktivate.com site. You will need to go to this site and create an account. I have a link to the directions in both English and Spanish. All the forms will be on the web site. You can use an electronic signature to sign. The actual physical will need to be printed out and taken to a physician as well as the parent filling out some of the information and then it will be uploaded to the account. Please note that when you create an account they will send you a code. Please check your junk mail as it may have gone there. If you have any questions you can email Coach Cross or call 407-672-3110 ex 3032228.

Students interested in participating in athletics must have a completed physical, Notification of Risk and Emergency Treatment Authorization Card on file with Coach Cross, Athletic Coordinator, prior to trying out for any team. Students must also have a 2.0 grade point average. Coaches will choose students for teams based upon their skill, sportsmanship, character, attitude, commitment, and academic achievement. Questions about athletics should be directed to Coach Cross at (407) 672-3110 ext. 3032228 or email at [email protected] 

Our school strives to offer as many sports as possible to both male and female students. All Athletic programs will stress academic success, physical fitness, character development, discipline, and good sportsmanship. Our athletes represent our school and community and are expected to be student leaders with positive behavior.

Four sports (Soccer / Basketball / Volleyball / Track) are offered during the school year for both boys and girls. Students participating in interscholastic sports compete against other middle schools in our learning community. Dates for try-outs begin on or about the second day of each nine-week. Participating in interscholastic sports at Arbor Ridge is considered a privilege, subject to the approval of the Head Coach, Administration and the Athletic Coordinator. All students shall abide by the Orange County Public School Code of Student Conduct, Arbor Ridge rules and regulations, as well as the rules and regulations set up by the coach.

A student may be eligible to participate only after all the following forms and sections are completed and turned in to his/her coach by the first day of try-outs. All forms must be completed each year and must be done only on the forms provided. The forms may be downloaded from our Forms and Documents page or are available at our front office.
