What to know for tryouts

Our mission is to build a cohesive, competitive team with the highest performing 10-12 players we can for our 2026-27 season.  10-12 offers will be given for each team.  In addition, 8-10 waitlist offers will be discussed with those families.

Each player offered a commitment letter, as mandated, will have 48 hours to decide what’s best for them.  From there, we defer to our waitlist in numerical order based on  tryout performance and team need.  We continue down the waitlist until the team is complete.
