Wootton Athletic Participation Information
General Sports Information Flyer
All students interested in participating in any sport must complete the following prior to the first day of the season: 
  1. A current physical examination by a Medical Doctor clearing them to participate in athletics.  The MCPS Health Inventory Form must be completed and turned into the coach.  Any student who has completed this process during the current school calendar year  will be included in the Athletics Eligibility Database.  For example, a student that has tried out or played a Fall sport will have this portion of the process complete for the entire school year. Please retain a copy for your records.
  2. A completed NEW MCPS Parent Permission Form signed and turned into the coach for each sport.
  3. A completed Wootton Athletics Guidelines Form for each sport.
  4. A copy of the prior quarter report card.
All forms may be found on this website under the HANDOUTS tab. 
  
All sport specific tryout information including dates, times and criteria will be posted on each team's site which is linked to this main athletics website.  Usually information is posted during the prior sports season although websites are updated periodically when needed. 
 
It is expected that a prospective participant attend all tryout dates and times to be eligible for consideration by the coaches.  Special arrangements in emergency situations may be prearranged with the specific sport coaches.
HYDRATION!!!!!
Proper hydration is very important all of the time but especially this time of the year.  After your training session all players should spend the remainder of the day and evening in an air conditioned environment and drink plenty of good fluids. 
 
What are good fluids? 
  • For most athletes, cold water is an acceptable source of fluid replacement. Drinking cool or cold water is best because water enters the bloodstream and tissues rapidly and helps cool the interior of the body.
  • In long-distance events (those lasting 60 minutes or more) diluted fruit juices (one part juice to one part water) or sports drinks are preferred because they supply glucose, the body's main source of energy, as well as small amounts of sodium. Sodium has been shown to possibly increase the rate of water and carbohydrate absorption from the digestive tract and to encourage fluid retention after exercise.
  • Athletes should not drink full strength fruit juices and other highly concentrated drinks. These create feelings of fullness and can cause cramping.
  • Athletes also should avoid fluids containing caffeine or alcohol. These have diuretic effects; that is, they promote the excretion of water from the body, causing the body to lose more fluid in the urine that is actually provided by the beverage
When should I drink fluids?
  • Drink a few glasses of water prior to leaving your house for training
  • Drink plenty of water/sports drinks during your session
  • Drink at least 4 12 oz glasses of water/sports drinks after your session in the evening
