Athletics & Activities

Sign up for Session 6 off Season Workouts.

Dear Scholar-Athletes and Families,

Based on the updated guidance from Governor Polis and CDPHE, DPS has made a decision to allow in-person, voluntary off-season athletics conditioning for high school students.  This is the third step in a multi-step process of returning to competitive play. During this third step, there will be no indoor access and very limited equipment use, as well as strict health checks and sanitation procedures for all participants.

We have made this decision with the continued goal of protecting the safety, health, and wellness of our students, staff and families. We recognize that the Denver community has been greatly impacted by the COVID pandemic, and believe that this is a positive first step in bringing our athletes back together.  Session 6 will run October 5, 2020 through Friday October 23, 2020. DPS leaders will then determine how to best continue our athletics programming based on current health and safety guidelines and input from fellow school districts.

Please review the session information sheet through the following link: Click Here for Info Sheet, outlining the details of participant engagement, health checks and sanitation procedures required during this time.  Should you choose to participate, your guardian will need to complete the required Student Registration for Session 6, which includes the district waiver by 5:00pm on Wednesday, September 30, 2020.

*Students that participated/registered for Phase 1/Step 1, Phase 2/Step 2, Session 3, Session 4, Session 5, must re-register for Session 6.

Additional information regarding student and coach waivers, daily documentation, conditioning schedules, and site drop-off procedures will follow prior to Session 6Activities beginning on Monday October 5, 2020.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your specific Athletic Director or coach.
