TRYOUTS:

Tryouts for both JV and Varsity will be held on Monday, August 5th and Tuesday, August 6th from 9am - 11am.  Practices will begin on Wednesday, August 7th. Expect to practice every weekday in August. There will be NO additional or special tryout dates.

If we do not have the required minimum number of athletes to field a JV team by 8/6, the coaching staff will make decisions on how to move forward, including running a varsity only squad this year… meaning those eligible for JV would either have to make the varsity team or be considered practice squad players only, based on their abilities and numbers.
