IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TRYOUTS/SEASON 2016

LAST WEEK OF CONDITIONING IS THIS WEEK! BELOW ARE ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BE READY FOR TRYOUTS!

Conditioning

The last week of conditioning is very important.  Finish the week strong and put yourself in the best possible shape for tryouts and the season.

You should be working 30 minutes minimum everyday on your ball control as well.

Register for Tryouts

You must be registered for tryouts before NEXT MONDAY, AUGUST 1st. Visit registermyathlete.com to register. There are 4 parts to registration. 1) Start registration. 2) Review Electronic Documents. 3) Guardian E-Signature. 4) Athlete E-Signature. Some of you have not completed all 4 steps.  Please ensure that they are all done.

You do not need to have a physical or pay fees for tryouts but it would be a good idea to get your physical done beforehand.  If you make the team, you will be very busy the first week of the season. There is no free physical sponsored by the school so you are required to schedule one on your own. Paperwork should be turned in directly to Kim's office. PLEASE GET YOUR PHYSICAL DONE ASAP. 

Tryouts

Tryouts will start at 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM on Monday, August 1st. You can plan on 2 hours per session for tryouts. Practice will start at 3:30 on Tuesday, August 2nd. 

If you do not have a 2.0 GPA or if you have more than one F in any subject from last spring semester, you are not eligible to make the team.

If you make the team you must commit to the following:

Grades and Conduct

You must commit to maintaining good grades. You must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and no unsatisfactory citizenship grades.  Also, I will be implementing a team rule that if your grades slips during the season and you have any D's, you will not be eligible to play until your grade comes up to a C.  If you have any F's, you will not be a part of the team until you can reach a C and convince me your grades will not slip again.  Anyone that has a D or lower at any point during the season will not be eligible to letter.

Fees

Along with the school and district fees which are about $70, there will be some team fees to cover the cost of camp, uniforms pieces you will keep, lunches for away games etc. I estimate that team fees will be $170.  There will be opportunities to fundraise to offset these fees if you apply yourself.  There will also be some optional team wear articles to purchase if desired.

Camp

Camp this year will be Thu. Aug 4th - Sat. Aug 6th.  We will start at 7:30 am on the 4th and will not arrive home until late on the 6th.  This year's camp is going to be A LOT OF FUN as well as very beneficial to our team development.  You must be able to attend this.

Parents Meeting

There will be a parents meeting Tuesday, Aug 2nd at 5:30 PM, at the field.  At least one parent will need to be present.  We will need a lot of help from parents in order to make the year a success.

Practice

Practice will start every week day at 3:30 PM. Players must be ready to practice at 3:30 (be there ten minutes early to stretch and jog). 

JR Bees

We will start Jr Bees on Saturday, August 13. If you make the team, you are required to participate as this is our main fundraiser. The Jr Bees season will run weekly on Saturday mornings until the first week of October (no games on Labor Day, and afternoon games on Peach Days).
