2020-2021 Tryout Update - April 28

General Update

After talking with the school administration, our goal for tryouts this year is to make them as "normal" as possible.  As a coaching staff, we find there to be great benefit in doing tryouts in person.   The plan for right now is tryouts will be set for the first week of June, depending on what the CDC guidelines are during this time.  If we are allowed to be in groups larger than 20, we will hold in person tryouts.  If we are still restricted to smaller groups, we will hold tryouts virtually.  More information to come on both potential formats as the time gets closer.  We have set this timeframe as a cutoff date because we have to order uniforms in the beginning of June in order for them to arrive by football season.

Once we have a firm method moving forward, we will give more specific details/dates.  We wanted to give an update so everyone has an idea of what the coaching staff is planning as of right now. Thank you everyone for your patience. We will keep you updated as we have more details.

Parent Meeting

The parent meeting will be held at the beginning of the first clinic day.  If we are in person, this will be an hour before the clinic starts in the Faculty Room above the library.  If we are virtual, a link will be provided to you to watch live and ask any questions you may have.  The parent meeting will be scheduled for Monday, June 1 at 5:30 pm, with either method of delivery.  We may also look at offering both methods to allow parents/students the option to watch live, if needed.

Tryout Packet

We have updated the tryout packet to include dates that we are anticipating for the year.  As always, dates are anticipated and may change as this situation evolves. We have also decided to have everyone submit their tryout packets via a google form rather than submitting the hard copy.  The only portion of the packet that will need to be signed via a hard copy is the signature sheet that requires both the candidate and parents signatures.  The signature sheet will either be brought to clinic day 1 (June 1) or a picture can be taken and sent to the coaching staff.
