District 518 fall athletics meeting will take place Aug. 4

All seventh- through 12th grade students interested in participating in fall athletics through Worthington Independent School District 518 are required to attend the all-sports eligibility meeting on Monday, Aug. 4.

It should be noted that this year’s meeting will look a little different, as access to the high school gyms will not be available that night. At 6 p.m. Aug. 4, all athletes will meet with their respective fall coaches to go over the season expectations, practice and event details. This meeting is an essential step to ensuring eligibility for participation, so all interested athletes/parents are asked to attend and complete all the necessary steps in order to be able to fully participate in practice and events.

Athletic registration will now be done online. To register, visit arbitersports.com. Then, click on "login" (upper left corner) and next select "for families/students."  Click on "Sign up" (in the bottom middle of page), and then complete the sign-up form and submit.  After submitting, you'll receive an email link to the new registration page, which you can then fill out.

Practice for high school football, boys soccer, girls soccer, volleyball, cross country and girls tennis begins on Monday, Aug. 11.  Practice for middle school boys soccer, girls soccer, cross county and girls tennis also begins Aug, 11, while practice for middle school football and volleyball begins Aug. 18.
