2026 Fall Sports Details
Warrior Nation -
I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far. With close to five weeks before school starts, I want you to have all the necessary information early enough to begin marking your calendars for the 2026 fall season. This will serve as your comprehensive source of information leading up to pre-season practices and the beginning of school.
Middle School Sports
As always, middle school sports will start on the first day of school for 7th and 8th graders, as well as 6th graders not enrolled in our guided learning program. During the first week, middle school students meet their coaches, cover expectations - including rules, necessary equipment, uniforms, schedules, and all of the other important details that middle school parents and athletes need to know.
High School Sports
As previously mentioned, high school fall sports will begin on Monday, August 17th. Athletes should reach out to head coaches to get specific information regarding times and dates of practice for each sport. Information for each team is listed below:
-
Boys Soccer – Head coach Micah Norcross can be reached at mnorcross@wilmingtonchristian.org.
-
Boys/Girls XC – Head coach Mike Malone can be reached at mmalone@wilmingtonchristian.org.

DIAA Physicals and Rank One
On a yearly basis, in accordance with DIAA policy, all student athletes, both middle school and high school, wishing to participate in athletics at any Delaware middle or high school must submit a completed DIAA physical form signed off by a licensed medical provider on or after April 1, 2026. No exceptions can be made. Middle school athletes will still deliver hard copies of their paperwork to their coaches, and our athletic trainer, Jessica Thompson.
Beginning this year, all high school parents only will need to create an account in the Rank One platform, and upload their information before practices start on the 17th. Our athletic trainer, Jessica Thompson will handle approvals of physicals in Rank One, and no paper forms will need to be handed in. Updated DIAA physical forms can be found in the “links” section of our website, www.wcswarriorssports.com. Athletes will not be able to participate without a proper physical form uploaded into Rank One. High school parents and students should refer to the email I sent on July 7th for further information, and can set up their account at www.rankone.com. Rank One will not be used for middle school sports at this time.
2026 Homecoming - Celebrate 80+ Years!
Please mark your calendars for Homecoming on October 2nd and 3rd. Game schedules are being finalized, as well as other great events that help us celebrate our heritage. Stay tuned for more information as details are finalized.
Athletics Mission
As just one of the many integral parts of every day student life at WCS, our mission is to pursue athletic excellence in order to continually add to our overarching and collective WCS school culture. As with every area of WCS, the athletic program strives to develop lifelong leaders of Christian character, and to glorify God with everything we do. As our society quickly moves farther away from God, we develop athletes who compete with Christ-like character, while using biblical principles to achieve spiritual growth. Our unwavering expectation is that every student and coach at WCS develops in these areas through the application of their faith to athletics. Bringing honor and glory to God must always be the foundation of our program. Whether you are an athlete, parent, grandparent, other family member, and/or spectator at any home or away game, it's important that we all represent WCS well, and I thank you for your continued support of our mission.
Please contact me with any questions, and please enjoy the rest of your summer.
Jay Fetterman, Athletic Director
