Frequently Asked Questions

My child is interested in joining a team. When are tryouts, and what information do we need?

Students should listen to the daily announcements for all tryout and practice information. To be eligible to try out for a team, students must:

Listen to daily announcements for specific dates and times.
Submit a signed permission slip to their coach. This is required for all students who wish to participate.

Are students allowed to play on two team sports in the same season?

Generally, yes, students are permitted to play on two team sports during the same season. However, this opportunity is conditional and may change based on a few key factors. The decision is always made in the best interest of the student and the team.

We prioritize our students’ academic and personal growth above all else. For this reason, a student’s academic performance and their behavior at school and as an athlete are taken into consideration. Ultimately, we reinforce the expectation that school comes first.

Why isn’t a team offered for a certain sport?

For any sports team to be established, we must have a staff volunteer who is available to lead and supervise it. While we deeply appreciate the offers from community members to coach, all teams must have a staff member to ensure the safety and accountability of the team.

If a parent volunteers to coach, does their child automatically make the team?

No, volunteering to coach does not guarantee a child a spot on a team. We believe that volunteering should be a contribution to the school community, not a means to bypass the standard selection process. To ensure fairness and equity, all students must go through the same tryout process to earn their spot on a team
