Please see below for some important athletic reminders and updates.

1. DragonFly Registration: All athletic registration this year has been moved to the NCHSAA's new DragonFly system. Information is located on the HRHS athletic page. REGISTRATION MUST BE 100% COMPLETE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WORKOUTS/PRACTICES AT HICKORY RIDGE.

     A. You may register for an account and link to Hickory Ridge High School at www.dragonflymax.com. Once you have a created an account, you should complete each step of the registration in order to participate in skill development this summer or tryout for a team at Hickory Ridge in 2022-23.  Once you are 100% complete, you may participate in Hickory Ridge athletics. In order to be considered 100%, you must be registered on DragonFly and have a current physical on file (either electronically on DragonFly or as a hard-copy in the HRHS Athletic Office).

     B. If your physical is currently on file at Hickory Ridge, we will enter your physical information for you. You must still complete the parent portion of the physical (health history/information) on DragonFly. We will only enter the actual doctor's physical documentation. Rising 9th grade physicals have been transferred from your middle school if you are coming from a Cabarrus County Middle School.
