How do I register?

DESKTOP: Registrations can be found on the right hand side of the screen.

MOBILE: Registrations will be found at the bottom

of this page.

Before REGISTERING FOR FALL 2025, please make sure of the following:

• Scholar is fully enrolled in Hopkins Schools
• Copy of physical exam is on file at HHS, WMS, or NMS (must be within the last 3 years)

There are 3 places a player and parents MUST REGISTER for the Hopkins Football Season.  

1. Register player through the Hopkins Athletic Department to play.
2. Register player on CrossBar to ensure player information is captured in a centralized place. The program will be using this platform for communication.
3. All parents must create a CrossBar account to ensure contact information is captured. ALL COMMUNICATION for the HHS Royals Football Program, volunteer needs, and Boosters will come via CrossBar.

Unique registrations will be conducted on CrossBar for training camps, lifting, 7v7 and regular season to streamline and simplify communications.

What if I'm not sure about the status of my physical?

If you are unsure about the status of your physical, you can view physical dates by logging into your family account in the registration system, or you can call/email the athletics office. 

If you need to submit a new physical, please fax it to 952-988-4546 or email it to Nicole.Hartert@HopkinsSchools.org. Please allow 24-48 hours for your physical to be updated in the system. 

What are no contact weeks?

No contact weeks or no contact periods are established by the Minnesota High School Sports League (MHSSL). During these periods coaches are unable to have contact with the athletes - this includes practices, training, communications, etc. Note, in the high school schedule, no events are scheduled during these timeframes. 



Is Fall camp mandatory?

Fall camp begins the second week of August and is critical to ensuring readiness to hit the field. If sessions are missed, you will be required to make up the practice time so you can safely move into a full padded practice. Registration through the Athletic Department should be completed by the time camp begins.

Where are practices held?

Practices are held after school on the turf practice field (TPF) or the stadium field at Hopkins High School. Lifting sessions are held in the weight room at the Royals Athletic Center (RAC).

What is "install?"

Install is when the coaches teach the offense, defense and special teams in a classroom like setting. Consider it "football school." Players should be sure to stay current with their playbooks and bring notebooks/pencils to install sessions.

What kind of game schedule can we expect?

Varsity games are generally held on Friday evenings, Junior Varsity on Saturday mornings and Freshman on Thursdays after school. The full game schedule will be posted on our website for each team when it's available.
