Spring Sports 2026

Spring sports registration is now completed through Operoo, a secure and easy-to-use platform for families.  Spring sports sign ups will be open through Friday, February 13th.

What Parents and Guardians Can Expect

1. Operoo Account Email
Parents and guardians will receive an email from Operoo (admin-us@operoo.com) with instructions to set up a new account. Please check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case) and follow the prompts, which will instruct you to create your account and reset your password.

2. Confirm Interest in Spring Sports
Once your account is set up, you will receive an Athletic Welcome Survey asking whether your child(ren) are interested in participating in Spring sports. Simply respond “Yes” for each child who plans to participate.

3. Athletic Consent Form & Additional Forms
After confirming interest, you will be prompted to complete the Lancaster Athletics Consent Form and any additional required sign-up forms for each student-athlete.

Completing these steps ensures your child is properly registered and ready to participate when the Spring season begins.

 If you are having difficulty accessing Operoo, please email elearning@lancasterschools.org.  Valid physicals for spring sports must be dated March 1st, 2025 or later.

Immunization Requirement for School

All 7th graders in New York State are required to be vaccinated against meningococcal disease before starting school. This vaccination is essential for school attendance, and students without it will not be allowed to attend classes. Please ensure you submit proof of vaccination to the Health Office before the start of the school year.
