New Assistant Athletic Director

We are excited to share that Tyler Maes has been selected as our new Assistant Athletic Director in charge of Community Sports & Recreation programs for grades 3rd–8th here at David Douglas School District.

As a proud David Douglas Scot, Tyler brings not only passion and pride, but also a strong connection to our students, families, and community. His experience as a Community Sports basketball coordinator, along with his years of coaching youth and high school athletics within our district, has given him a valuable understanding of what it takes to build successful programs and create positive experiences for student-athletes.

Throughout the selection process, Tyler demonstrated a clear commitment to supporting students, coaches, families, and the overall mission of David Douglas Athletics. His leadership, organization, and dedication to developing young athletes will be a great asset as we continue to grow and strengthen our Community Sports & Recreation programs.

We are excited for this next chapter and look forward to the positive impact Tyler will have on our 3rd–8th grade athletic programs.

The future is bright—Go Scots!

Upcoming Season Details:

Football

We will be participating in the Pop Warner football league this season, which will allow our teams to compete against programs such as Centennial, Portland Steelers, Evergreen, North County (Battle Ground), and Vancouver. This means some games will require travel to these different locations. Most games will be played on Saturdays, however there may be a few teams that only have field availability on Sundays, so a limited number of games could be scheduled on that day as well. Youth football leagues can be expensive, and this partnership helps provide families with a more affordable option while still being part of a well-organized league overseen by a governing board.

There are not a lot of programs in our area that offer flag football, so we are really hoping for a strong turnout this season. Our goal is to be able to play inter-district competition, similar to what we do with other community sports and recreation programs at this age level, giving kids a fun and competitive experience against neighboring communities.

As part of registration, families will need to provide proof of birthdate (such as a birth certificate or passport). There may also be an additional registration step after this sign-up due to our transition into the Pop Warner league; we will share more details as they become available. In addition, there will be a small football fee this year to help cover Pop Warner registration and league costs. The fee will not exceed $40, and the exact amount is still being finalized.

Insurance Coverage Required

All students are required by the State of Oregon to have health insurance in order to participate in athletics. David Douglas School District insurance does not cover student injuries due to accidents at school or during school-sponsored activities. Students who cannot show proof of accident or health coverage may purchase insurance from Myers-Stevens & Toohey & Co, a third party insurance company.

Middle School Sports Physicals

All 6th, 7th, 8th graders must have a current sports physical on file with the school to be eligible for tryouts and participation. Students can receive a free sports physical at a Multnomah Student Health Center. There is a David Douglas clinic location in the same parking lot as the DD Aquatics Center (the clinic is behind the Aquatics Center building).
