What Is Register My Athlete (RMA), Now Called Aktivate?

Aktivate (formerly Register My Athlete or RMA) is a web-based registration platform used by all Washoe County School District high schools to register athletes for NIAA-sanctioned sports.

• The same account will be used throughout all four years of a student's athletic career.

• Initial registration takes approximately 45 minutes for a parent to complete.

• After the first year, registration becomes a quick update each season or school year.

What Is a Transfer of Eligibility (T.E.F.) Request?

A Transfer of Eligibility request is submitted through the Aktivate system when a student transfers enrollment from one school to another, either within the same district or to a different district.

• The student's athletic eligibility may change depending on the nature and circumstances of the transfer.

• Each case is reviewed to determine whether eligibility is maintained, gained, or lost.

 

Can My Child Participate in Sports if They Attend a Magnet or Signature Program?

Yes, students enrolled in Magnet or Signature Programs are eligible to participate in sports. However, the level and type of participation can vary based on when and how the transfer into the program occurs.
