Clear Bag Policy & Metal Detectors at LCPS Varsity Football Games

Posted on 08/28/2025

Students, staff and visitors may notice new security measures across Loudoun County Public Schools. These efforts reflect the division’s continued commitment to creating safe, welcoming environments for all. While not every element of the LCPS security plan is shared publicly for safety reasons, two visible changes will take effect beginning in fall 2025 at home varsity football games.Clear Bag Policy: Only clear bags will be permitted through the ticket gates at any LCPS high school hosting a varsity football game. This change aligns LCPS with safety practices already in place in neighboring school divisions and at many collegiate and professional venues.To support this transition, school athletic directors have partnered with booster clubs to offer school-branded clear bags. Families interested in obtaining a personalized bag are encouraged to contact their school’s booster organization.Bag Guidelines:·        Must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC·&nb

VHSL Doctor's Physical-- new law regarding physical date

Updated on 08/08/2025

Riverside parents, Virginia state code/law changed and now allows for VHSL physicals to remain valid for 14 months from the date of the physical.   In the past, all physicals expired on June 30 and new ones were required each school year.   Now, a physical may carry over from one school year to the next as long as it's not older than 14 months.  When parents register their child for sports online (which won't open until mid June), they will be asked to enter the date of the doctor's physical.  The Riverside athletic office will verify that date is correct after checking the actual physical paperwork.   Parents will receive 30, 60, and 90 day automatic emails to remind you that the physical is set to expire.  Please make sure to not allow a physical to expire, as this would cause the athlete to need to stop playing or practicing when the physical expired.  There may be a few paperwork challenges and processes to figure out for the athletic of

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse, I hope this email finds everyone healthy and in great spirits. I was hoping to have a “back to normal” email going out, however that is unfortunately not the case. This week we will not be able to hold any scheduled activities due to the 2-hour delay schedule, as well as the continued snow cover. It is extremely important that you all do things on your own. The season will be here in 21 days! You need to be sure you are running, maintaining your strength by working out, working on your flexibility and getting stickwork in to be sure you are ready for tryouts on 2/23. It only takes 30-60 minutes of work per day to get yourself ready. Set an alarm/reminder on your phones and build it into your daily routine. We are VERY excited to kickstart this season. Please reach out if you have any questions. ALL IN-Coach Worek

We also wanted players to be coachable and take/make corrections as the day went on. We as coaches were very pleased and felt that all players met the goals for the day with flying colors! We discussed at the end of yesterday that we have a great opportunity to now spend time working on things that each player may individually need to work on. Then, as a team, we can improve on our strength and conditioning heading into late February and the beginning of the 2026 campaign.Here is the schedule for the week:Monday
