Notes:
--Flag football is a competitive sport and as such we will need to make cuts after each round of tryouts.
--Tryout communication will be done through Google Classroom (code given at meeting on the 25th).
--Players should attend both days of tryouts for their grade level. If you cannot attend a day be sure to communicate with coaches.
--7th graders we feel can compete for a varsity starting position will be invited to the varsity tryouts.
--Players should wear cleats or sneakers and bring water and sunscreen to tryouts.
--We welcome and support multi-sport athletes and multi-talented students. If you want to play flag football but have scheduling conflicts contact the coaches and we’ll do what we can to work with you.
--Turn in your paperwork to Coach Pearlman (room 253) or our Athletic Director, Mr. Gilpin (room 654)
