Frequently Asked Questions... Q: What are the “no-cut sports?” A: We do not use that term but the following sports “tend” to not “cut” any athletes. Please refer to our Making Teams guidelines on the first page of our athletic website. Q: How often do teams practice? A: The expectation is that teams practice every day during their season of sport. Some teams practice on Saturday. Q: Which teams practice during the summer? A: Typically, both volleyball and basketball programs, cross country, and football. Please check our athletic website for all times and dates.
Frequently Asked Questions... Q: Are summer practices mandatory? A: No, they are not. Plan your summer vacation. If you in town, however, it is recommended that players attend. Q: What if a student can’t decide between two sports in the same season? A: Try out for the first choice but communicate with the coach of the second choice that they may be trying out. Q: What if a sport is holding tryouts when my student is still playing another sport? A. The coaches KNOW that they must give athletes coming from a sport in the prior season ample opportunity to make their team.
