The first day of the winter season is Friday, November 20th. A completed PIAA physical form is required to participate in a school sport. The six-page form can be found on the district website under Athletics. The PIAA Sports Physical can be obtained through your family doctor and any of the WellSpan urgent care facilities in the area. If your student didn’t play a fall sport or hasn’t turned their physical forms in yet, please do so by Friday, November 13th.
Official 1st Day of Practice/Tryouts is Friday, November 20, 2026
We currently have some Open Practices that are taking place. These practices are a great opportunity for students to check out a sport for the first time or work on their skills for an existing sport. These open practices are voluntary and are available for current 7th through 12th graders (depending on the sport) who reside in the Dover Area School District.
