Whatcom Athletics

Wildcat Families ~

We will be using FinalForms again this year for athletics registrations.  Families that are familiar with FinalForms can log in at any time and update their forms for the 2022-23 school year. Families that are new to middle school or to Bellingham Public Schools should go to https://bellingham-wa.finalforms.com/parents/login and click on “Never logged in?”. Enter the email address on file with Bellingham Public Schools to begin the registration process. Parents/Guardians will need to select the sports for the student. Once parents/guardians have completed all forms, an email will be sent to the student to complete registration.

Private school or home school students are invited to participate in middle school sports.  However, prior to registering in FinalForms, you will need to register with the Bellingham School District.  Once all the information has been uploaded (in a day or two), you will need to begin the sports registration in Final Forms using the link above.

Sports physicals must be turned in to Whatcom Middle School, or uploaded in FinalForms, prior to the beginning of the sports season. The sports physical cannot expire during the sport season and is required for the student to participate in athletics. Physicals are good for two years from the examination date You can get a sports physical from your regular health care provider Here are some local resources if you need assistance:

• • PeaceHealth Medical Center
  • NCNM

Middle School Philosophy:

We encourage all students to participate in sports while in middle school.  Our coaching philosophy is to build teamwork, have fun, and improve personal fitness goals. The main purpose of middle school athletics is sportsmanship, not competition. There are no “try outs.”  Everyone makes the team. Students of all abilities are encouraged to participate. Students find that sports participation is an easy and fun way to get to know classmates and other Whatcom students. If you student wants to participate but does not have proper equipment for the sport (i.e. running shoes, shin guards, etc.), just let us know in Student Services or the Main Office.
