TRY-OUT INFORMATION

EVERY player must register online and needs to be cleared through the activities office and our athletic trainer prior to receiving a helmet and beginning the try-out. Click this link to register for athletics at W-L and submit all of your required information.  Time/days waiting on paperwork or getting a physical to be "cleared" in August count as try-out days. Players will receive a 3 day tryout beginning on Monday, August 1st and concluding on Wednesday, August 3rd. Players will receive an evaluation at the end of the third day. Players who do not make the team may schedule a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss their evaluation.

If you are unable to be at the try-out (8/1-8/3) you need to let Coach Shapiro know before the end of school Friday, June 17th. If you fail to do so you will not be given a tryout.

All players must report to camp by August 8th. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you cannot be in camp by August 8th there will be no season for you.
