SPRING TRY-‐OUTS & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of paper work is required?
1 . CURRENT PHYSICAL ON FILE: In compliance with VHSL rules, before any student can try out or participate in conditioning or any sports team, they MUST have a CURRENT ATHLETIC PHYSICAL on file dated since May 1, 2016. Physical forms can be downloaded from our website or picked-‐up from the Athletic Office.
2. REGISTER ON-‐LINE AS AN ATHLETE: Completing this on-‐line registration form minimizes parents/students from having to fill out duplicate & multiple layers of paper work. Since this information provides important emergency & medical info, it is key that you are specific with which sport you are trying-‐out. For example, Spring coaches can not obtain information if a student only registered as a Fall Football player but is now trying out for Baseball.
It is responsibility of each athlete to be prepared to start Monday, February 20. This will be the first day of evaluations that will continue until the final team selections are made. Each athlete should come prepared with weather and sport appropriate clothing and equipment (cleats, gloves, etc). It is also imperative that you bring your own LOCK to secure your personal valuables. If there is an unavoidable conflict that prevents your attendance, it is your responsibility to contact the coach PRIOR to you missing practice.
HOW DO TRY-‐OUTS WORK?
Depending on the number of students, sport or weather, “try-‐outs” could take 3 days or 2 weeks. During this evaluation period, a variety of tests, drills, tools and game-‐like situations are used to measure each athlete’s performance ability in the most objective and measureable manner possible. Each athlete will have a minimum of 2 days of try-‐outs, provided they have their physical and are ready to go on the 1st day. No athlete is guaranteed a try-‐out if they fail to get a physical and are late trying out. If there is an unavoidable conflict that prevents your attendance on 2/20, It is your responsibility to contact the coach PRIOR to you missing practice.
WHEN & WHERE DO PRACTICES TAKE PLACE?
Practices are held Monday-‐Friday (occasionally on Saturdays) and run from 3:50-‐ 6:15pm. The practice times may vary based upon coach's discretion. Sport specific questions and information should be directed to the coach below. MORE INFO albemarleathletics.com.

Can 8th graders try-‐out?
An 8th grader can only make a JV team if a 9th or 10th grader has not been cut.
Due to try out numbers, not all sports are able to take 8th graders. Please check with your coach before you pay for a physical or plan to try-‐out. Any 8th grader that is on a JV team must be prepared to provide their own transportation from their middle school to AHS for practice away games where an early dismissal is required.
When a sport also offers a 9TH grade team (B/G Basketball & Football): An 8th grader can only make the 9th grade team if a 9th grader has not been cut. NOTE: Since 10th graders are not eligible for a 9th grade team, cutting a 10th grader does not impact keeping an 8th grader on a 9th grade team. albemarleathletics.com
