This information just in from Deer Valley's District office about 25-26 Sports Seasons!

Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) provides its middle school student athletes with multiple opportunities to compete throughout the school year.  Sixth graders can tryout for sports; however, will be the first to be cut if there are enough seventh and eighth graders. The athletic fees are now $120 per sport with a max of $240 per student or a family max of $500.

In 2022-23, we changed the order of our seasons so that we could align with our neighboring districts to offer more athletic opportunities for our students. Not only do we have the opportunity for post-season regional championships, but we now are opening up in-season tournaments hosted by high schools throughout all three districts (Dysart, Peoria and DVUSD).

We also needed to make a change to the order of our seasons due to the fact that we were experiencing a shortage of game officials in previous years when the sports seasons coincided with the high school seasons. By making this change, we had one of our best years in regard to official coverage!

Both the high school athletic directors and the district athletic directors believe that the current seasonal format is best for the long term development of our athletic programs.

The continuation of our current season schedule will allow us to continue and grow our partnership with the Peoria and Dysart Districts, as well as allow us to continue to build our connections between the middle schools and high schools within our own district. As our middle schools compete outside of the high school seasons, this will allow for high school coaches and assistant coaches to become more involved with our middle school programs.

As we continue to move forward in partnership with our high schools and neighboring districts, our goal is to provide as many athletic opportunities for our students within DVUSD. We look forward to a great 2024-25 school year!

HOW TO REGISTER FOR ALL SPORTS:

All you need can be found on the PH website.  You will see all the sports on the left side of the page.  You will also see Register My Athlete.  All forms on this website MUST be completed on Registermyathlete.com prior to trying out.  I DO NOT ACCEPT actual papers on the day of tryouts!  If you need help, come by and see Mr. Slawson after school, email, or call, however, is not an option in the summer--you can try email, but I do not check it often and I will get back to you as soon as I can.  There are some forms that will need to be printed, filled in, scanned or photoed, and then uploaded back to the computer.

There are three sections to this process.

Section 1 is Electronic Documents, which will have several forms to read and electronically sign.

Section 2 will be Final E-Signatures that will need to be read and signed.

Section 3 will be the Physical Documents. There are 4 parts to this section. Each one of these you will have forms to fill out and then, once completed, you will need to upload them back to the program.  The Physical Evaluation (6 pages that you fill in with information and take with you to the doctor), the Physical Examination (1 page that you place your name, date of birth, and age only--the doctor will fill out the rest), the Brainbook certificate (you must take the course by watching the videos, take the quiz, and when you have passed the test, you will receive a certificate that you upload), and the Emergency Contact Info (1 page and please do not forget to fill in the insurance information)

There are 2 parts to the physical Documents.

Part 1--Physical Evaluation (5 pages) You will need to fill out one section, which is about family history and health.  Take this with you to the doctor and they will fill it out and sign it and the Physical Examination (1 page) is for the doctor to fill in when he/she does the physical.  The only thing you fill in on this page is  your name, your date of birth, and your age.

When this is completed, you will upload back into the program.

If you need an extra blank form, use this link: AIA Physical Evaluation and Examination Forms

The next part is the Brainbook Concussion Course. This is where you need to go in and watch the class about concussions, take the quiz, and then receive the certificate for passing. Once this is completed, you will again need to upload the certificate back to the program.

Finally, you will come to the Emergency Contact Info. You will need to fill in all parts, including the insurance information AND policy number, just in case there is a problem, we can get help started. You will then, again, upload this back to the program.

When all of the above is complete, Mr. Slawson will approve and give you a paper telling the coach you are cleared to participate in tryouts and you are now ready to try out! WHEW! Best wishes, let me know if you have any questions.

If you have taken any pictures of any of our sporting events, please post them to our social media accounts and/or send them to me so we can have the opportunity to get them in our yearbook!  Since I am Athletic Coordinator, in charge of our snack shack, and many times sitting at the scoring table, I have no time to take pics.  I would love it if there were more opportunities for athletics to get in the yearbook and, with your help, we can!  Thank you for your help!
