Game schedules

7. Eligibility for Tryouts
Student athlete must be academically eligible in order to tryout
Student must complete all required paperwork on RankOneSports
Student must be cleared by the trainer prior to trying out
Current physical must be on file with the trainer prior to tryout

8. Tryouts
Tryouts are required to help determine player skill level, 2019 points scale.
Minimum varsity evaluation score is set at 800 pts. Will increase next year.
Minimum JV evaluation score is 600 pts.
C-Team would be 599 pts. and below.
Team position security after placement is the responsibility of the player.
Player will be evaluated by observation, stats, and attitude thereafter.
Should a player make a specific team it does not constitute a season long guarantee. 
If a senior is trying out and has not made varsity in 3 yrs of participation, chances are that senior will be cut if they do not reach the minimum varsity score. 

9. Tournaments
Tournament participation is determined by the coach or coaches of the respective team only, i.e., Varsity, JV, C-Team
Participation in a tournament at any team level does not guarantee the player’s spot on that team , i.e., Varsity, JV, C-Team 
These are preseason games scheduled by the coach and or district AD to aid in the final determination of team members
Player participation in tournaments will be determined by player ranking and number of players permitted to travel to said tournament
Varsity team will be taking the top 12 scoring players from tryouts to participate in the scheduled tournaments.
Should the varsity team require additional player they will be pulled from JV based on observation, stats and attitude.  

10. Senior Night
Senior night is to honor seniors after the scheduled game.
By no means is it a guarantee that a senior will play.
If the senior has not started prior to senior night they will not start that evening either.
Competition is very tight at the Varsity level therefore, alterations to the normal line-up will be considered but not ensured.
The object in all sports programs is to improve to the point of becoming a starter on the Varsity team.

11. Player Expectations The ultimate goal is varsity
Players should seek to improve daily to make it to varsity

Athletic budgets don’t go very far.
All athletes are required to meet their fund raiser goal.
First goal is $70, which helps pay for the spirit pack.
