Team Formation

During tryouts, players will be evaluated across several skill and athletic performance areas to assess both strengths and development needs. Our coaching staff will build rosters based on performance, positional needs, and team dynamics.

Why We’ve Moved Tryouts Earlier

As our program continues to grow, we've adjusted our tryout schedule to better align with school sports calendars and ensure efficient roster management.
Holding tryouts earlier allows us to:

• Avoid scheduling conflicts with school teams

• Finalize rosters well in advance of the season

• Fill any open roster spots due to post-tryout injuries or withdrawals
