Tryouts

General Information:

Due to limited practice time and court space, we unfortunately cannot accommodate everybody who shows interest in joining BCT.  We will therefore have those who are interested in joining us try out for our team.  We hold tryouts at the beginning of every fall semester, and depending on any roster changes, sometimes at the start of spring semester.  Please visit our booth at the activities fair and sign up to receive information regarding tryouts.  Since tryouts are only guaranteed to be held once a year, we ask you to adjust your schedules accordingly.  There are two main qualities, among others, that we are looking for through tryouts: skill and commitment.  Although tryouts can be long and challenging, they are designed so that we can fairly assess these qualities for every person.  We hope that prospective members will be able to commit to the tryout process.  Students of all years may try out for BCT.

Typical tryout process:

Please note that the tryout process can be different every year. In general, more men tend to try out than do women, so the men's tryouts may be slightly longer than the women's; often, women's tryouts includes only Observed Practice and Fight Group (no Callbacks step).
