Tryout Dates- please read carefully! ALL Players must attend night #1 of tryouts. Players will be notified after night one if they are invited back for night two of tryouts by the teams head coach.
- All 5th grade boys attend 5th / 6th grade tryouts on night #1 October 21st and for night #2 October 22nd players will be notified to attend by the coach. All tryouts for 5th/6th will be at Urbana Middle School.
- Boys 6th / 7th grade attend JV tryout night #1 on October 15th at Urbana High School Aux Gym.
- Boys 7th grade that do not make the team night #1 will not return for night #2 and will be notified by the coach.
- Any 6th grade boy that doesn’t make the team during JV tryouts night #1 on October 15th will be told to attend the 5th / 6th grade night #1 tryout on October 21st.
- Any 6th grade boy who makes it to JV tryout Night #2 on October 20th and doesn’t make JV, a pass on attending Night #1 on 5th / 6th grade will be given and the player should come on October 22nd. The primary reason is that these players would have already had two tryouts and we don’t want to make them come 4 nights to make a team.
