Students must have an Aktivate Online Packet completed before the start of a tryout/season, or they will be turned away from tryouts. Paper athletic packets are no longer valid or accepted.
At BDB we encourage all students and athletic abilities to try out for any team they are interested in. Middle school sports require an athletic packet but they do not require a doctor's physical exam like high school sports. They are a great way for students to learn skills, get involved in the school culture and get invested in their educational and athletic goals.
Each of our sports seasons will offer an open tryout day and run roughly 5 weeks of after-school practices and home and away games played against other middle schools in the Reno/Sparks area. Games are free to spectators, and we love seeing a big crowd to cheer on the Bighorns!
On tryout day, in order to enter the tryout your student must have a completed athletic packet on file through Aktivate and should be dressed appropriately and ready to play. Teams are chosen the day after tryouts conclude. Sports at BDB are very popular, but our teams are limited in the number of athletes per team, so unfortunately, this does mean many students who try out may not be chosen.
Sports are free to try out for however, should your student make a team, they will be assessed a $10 Athletic Transportation Fee on their Infinite Campus account. This District-wide required fee is charged only once in a school year per athlete, regardless of how many teams they make in that school year. Some sports may have additional fees for uniforms or special equipment and those fees will be assessed at the discretion of the coaches.

*Cheer is not assessed an athletic transportation fee as they do not travel and will only attend home basketball games but are required to have a completed application. Tryouts are scored by a judges' panel and team size is limited.
