Winter Athletic and Activities Opportunities

During the summer many programs offer opportunities for practice. Check in the individual website below or email the Coach/Director.

Woodbury High School has partnered with HomeTown Ticketing to provide digital tickets and passes to all regular season, home athletic events.  Fans will be able to purchase and show their tickets or district passes on their phones to get into events. Spectators can avoid the lines at events or the need to have cash at the door.

Fans have two ways of purchasing tickets and passes:

• use the following link: https://sowashco.hometownticketing.com/embed/all
• download the HomeTown Fan app on your iOS or android device

Once in the system, fans can search for Woodbury HS events, purchase and save tickets right on their device. Spectators will receive a unique QR code that will be scanned at the event. Tickets purchased online can also be printed and brought to the event for admittance.

Ticket prices are set by the Suburban East Conference and remain $6 for adults and $4 for students; adult district passes are $60 and student passes cost $40.  The district pass does incur processing fees  of 2-3 dollars each. Adult passes also include free admittance for one elementary-aged student. Fans purchasing digital tickets and passes will have a small convenience fee added to their purchase.  Cash ticket sales will still be available at all venues except for swimming. Senior citizens are free at all athletic events at SoWashCo Schools.  Please note that city-owned ice arenas manage their own ticket sales and are not included in this partnership with HomeTown Ticketing.

All new students must enroll to attend South Washington County Schools. In order for a transfer student to participate in Minnesota State High School  League (MSHSL) sponsored athletics, they must be complete the required transfer paperwork with the Activities Director. 

Contact the Activities Office prior to the start of the MSHSL Sport as there is required paperwork for all transfer students to be eligible to participate.
