Mar. 31st - 1st DAY OF TYPICAL PRACTICE SCHEDULE FOR ALL STUDENTS

8th Graders Varsity Tryout/ Participation Policy:
A varsity tryout request can only be generated by the invitation of the Head Varsity Coach. The request must be made first to the Director of Athletics (not the student-athlete). The Director of Athletics will forward the request on to the Middle School Director, who in consultation with the Student’s advisor will forward a recommendation back to the Director of Athletics. The final decision as to if the tryout is granted will be made by the Director of Athletics in consultation with the Student’s parents. If an 8th Grader makes a varsity team, they will be waived from their Middle School athletic commitment, but will at no time be
excused from any academic commitments.

Mandatory! Upper School Pre-participation Exams Policy, will be held March 3, 4 & 5th. Conducted by the Athletic Training Staff (basic safety tests). In the NAC training room, time TBA. For all Spring athletes grades 9-12, who did not participate in the Fall or Winter.
