INQUIRY

Middle School AES

Thank you for your interest in DCS Athletics. AES student-athletes will need to be approved for participation by the DCS athletic department prior to participating in tryouts or practices.

AES acceptance at Dominion Christian School is not only based on availability, but the joint admission decision between the Admissions Committee and Head Coach. Participation within each team is not guaranteed, but at the discretion of the Head Coach of each sport.

AES Reenrollment is not guaranteed, but based on:

  • conduct and attendance during the previous school year
  • availability on requested team
  • space within requested class

AES Approval Process

AES Student-Athletes will need to be approved for participation by DCS Athletic Department and GAPPS (MS) prior to tryouts. For sports that do not have tryouts, AES Student-Athletes must be approved prior to registering for a sport.

Steps for Enrollment

PART 1 - DCS AES APPLICATION FOR ALL AES ATHLETES

Each academic year, AES (homeschooled) athletes interested in participating in DCS Athletics will need to complete the following:

Fill out the AES Interest contact form: 

AES Interest Form
  1. When we receive the interest form, the Athletic Department will email a link for the parent and student athlete to complete the DCS AES Application. Cost $40/athlete.
  2. If the student’s application is approved, they will need to go through the steps below.

PART 2 – APPROVAL FROM GAPPS- MIDDLE SCHOOL AES

GAPPS approval is required before a Middle School athlete can participate in tryouts, practices and meets. GAPPS will charge you a $60 fee per student each year.

NEW TO GAPPS PORTAL (you have never filled out AES for Dominion):

  1. Begin by going to the GAPPS AES Application Parent Portal https://aes.gappsports.com/.
  2. Download and read through the Parent Handbook and Application Instructions
  3. Follow directions on the Application Instructions to create an account, add your students who will be participating in sports with DCS Athletics as a homeschooled student, and upload your documentation. If you have other children who plan to play a winter or spring sport with us, we recommend that you go ahead and submit paperwork for all of your children now. Make a note of your login id and password since you will need to access this site each year.
