Try Out Expectations
Your son/daughter has expressed an interest in trying out for one of our sports teams teams. Your son/daughter will be judged on his/her skill, ability, effort, cooperative attitude and "coach ability". Since there will be a limit to team size, it is possible that your son/daughter may not be chosen for a team. Our goal is to provide a quality experience for as many student-athletes as possible. Please understand that previous experience does NOT guarantee any student-athlete that he will be chosen for this year's team. Please discuss this matter with your son/daughter and together make a decision about them trying out. Should your son/daughter make a team, there will be weekly practices, games and events that he must attend faithfully.
Please avoid conflict with other activities such as other sports teams, etc. Consider the substantial amount of time that your son/daughter will have to devote to the sports season. Academics must be a top priority. Please review our school policy about athletic eligibility regarding athletics and academics. The athletic handbook can be found on the Old Colony website. Once again because there will be a limit to team size it is possible that your son/daughter may not be chosen for a team. Players who make the team might NOT play in every game or may have limited playing time throughout this season and tournaments. PLAYING TIME IS NOT A TOPIC DISCUSSED BETWEEN PARENTS & COACHING STAFF. Please take all of these matters into account. If your son/daughter would like to try out, please make sure the physical, final forms, and all classes are passing grades. It is also necessary for each player to do the following before tryouts: Have a completed sports physical on file with Final Forms.
Register for athletics through Final Forms.
Submit this form through Final Forms
