Student Registration, New VHSL Physical, and Transfer Students

New Activities Registration Site

FCPS has recently changed the website where students/parents will register for sports/activities at Fairfax HS. All students must be registered prior to tryouts. There was also an email from messaging@arbitersports.com, that went out on 6/20 with information on how to register, which can also be used. CLICK HERE to register your student athlete. 

Please Note: Each family must create ONE new account—you can register multiple children under this single account.
Previous log-ins will no longer work, so you must create a new account for this year. Once your new account is set up, log in and complete your student’s registration for the 2025–2026 school year.
