DATE OF TRYOUTS: There are three times during the year where the coaching staff has an opportunity to evaluate students who are interested in joining our program:

Students who participate will benefit from the longer evaluation period and the chance to receive feedback on where to improve prior to trying-out during the school year. If you are going to be playing a Fall sport, attending is extremely beneficial as the tryout period in November is very short and will take place while our season has already begun. This is an optional class. More information is located below.
• Early October: A mandatory tryout for all students who do not play a Fall sport. Participation is required even if you take the summer class. Check the school bulletin during the school year for the actual dates.
