Hillcrest High School Opens Athlete Registration for 2026-2027 Season
April 22, 2026
Student-athletes at Hillcrest High School can now officially begin their journey for the upcoming academic year. Hillcrest Ram Athletics announced Monday that the registration portal for the 2026-2027 sports season is now live, signaling an early start to preparations for next year’s rosters.
The school is utilizing the ArbiterSports platform to streamline the registration process, ensuring that all physicals, emergency contact information, and eligibility requirements are met well before the first whistle blows.
A Digital Jumpstart
By opening registration in April, athletic directors and coaches aim to give families ample time to navigate the paperwork required for high school sports. The move is designed to prevent the typical late-summer rush and ensure that student-athletes are cleared for summer conditioning and tryouts.
The administration is urging all returning athletes and incoming freshmen to begin loading their information as soon as possible.
“ATTENTION HILLCREST ATHLETES: We now have the link for Arbiter registration to begin loading your information for next year,” the athletic department shared in an alert to the “Ram Nation” community.
How the Process Works
The digital registration system is designed to be user-friendly, allowing parents to select specific sports and upload necessary documentation in one centralized location.
Steps for registration include:
-
Access the Portal: Navigate to the Hillcrest High School page on ArbiterSports.
-
Select Your Sport: Athletes should click on their specific sport(s) to begin the individual registration.
-
Upload Documentation: This includes current physicals and proof of insurance.
-
Finalize Clearances: Once submitted, the athletic department will review the files for final eligibility clearance.
Important for Summer Participation
For many Hillcrest programs, including football, volleyball, and cross-country, summer workouts begin as early as June. Athletes must have a completed and approved registration on file to participate in these sanctioned team activities.
