FAQ'S

What is the tryout process?

The Coaching Staff will host Open Gyms during the summer.  

Tryouts Week

August 11-13, 2025

A quick summary of the tryout process:

On Monday you tryout based on your grade, you will receive a number that you keep for the rest of tryouts during the week. 

Starting Monday night we will send an email that will tell which numbers to go to which tryout the next day. The same thing will occur Tuesday and Wednesday night. If you miss Monday's tryout and don't get a number; then if you're a Freshman you'll attend Tuesdays Frosh tryout, if you're a Soph/Junior, you'll attend the JV tryout and if you're a senior you'll attend the Varsity tryout. Everyone will try out each day and we will finalize teams and make cuts Thursday night.

Note: The EBAL is a very strong league. Please anticipate a high level of competition.
