Valdez High School Activities/Athletics

PSA Regarding New Sports Registration System:
Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, the Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) will transition to a new School Activities Reporting System (SARS) platform powered by Arbiter Registration.

Since 2018, ASAA schools have used the BigTeams (Planet High School) platform for student activity and sports registration. Last year, BigTeams was acquired by Arbiter. ASAA had already been evaluating Arbiter Registration prior to the acquisition and, after a review process, has signed an agreement to move forward with the Arbiter platform for SARS.
We are excited about the improvements and long-term support Arbiter Registration will provide to schools, students, and families. However, there will be one important change during this transition:

Parents and students will need to create a new Arbiter Registration account, as existing BigTeams account information cannot be transferred. Families should create one shared Family account rather than separate accounts for each user.

Parents and students may begin creating their new Arbiter Registration Family accounts starting July 6, 2026. To register, families should visit your school’s athletics/activities webpage and click on the Arbiter Registration link [ https://vhs.valdezcityschools....], or go directly to the ASAA SARS registration portal at https://arbiter.io/products/student-registration-software/.

We understand this transition may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we move to the new platform.
Thank you for your continued support of student activities and athletics.
