Well, that went fast. Summer break is almost over, which means student athletes at Wheat Ridge will be signing up for the Fall season. Registration opened on July 25th and with so many options the Athletic Department has scheduled a Fall Sports Parent/Student Night event on Thursday August 14,2025 at 7:00 pm in the school auditorium. This will be an excellent opportunity for families to meet the Athletic Director, Jason Campbell, and learn “The Way of the Wheat”.
Most Fall sports will officially start on Monday August 11th, including the new Girl’s Flag Football team, Mountain Biking (yep! We have a MTB team, contact Burke.Edgar@jeffco.k12.co,us for tryouts and team information), Football, Softball, Girl’s Volleyball, Boy’s and Girl’s Cross Country, Boys’ Soccer and Boy’s Tennis. There are some sports that will start earlier; the Boy’s Golf Team has tryouts on August 4th (contact Coach Dowd at Vince.Dowd@jeffco.k12.co.us) and Girls Flag Football, a brand-new sport this year at Wheat Ridge, will host a Min-Camp August 5th – 7th from 5:30 to 7:00pm at the school turf field. If you have an interested student, they should reach out to Coach Griego at Jesse.Griego@jeffco.k12.co.us. One non-Fall sport, the Girls Basketball team, will host a Mini-Camp on August 6th -8th from 9:00am to 11:00AM at Manning Middle School. If you have an interested student, they should reach out to Coach Mack at Mack.Neal@jeffco.k12.co.us .
