OMS Lady Mustangs

Tryouts

Dear Ola Middle School Families,

We are excited to jump right into tryouts for the Lady Mustangs OMS Softball team the first week of school. Something new and exciting this year is that all rising 6th grade students are eligible to participate in athletics for the 2026-2027 school year. For rising 7th and 8th grade students, eligibility is based on academic performance. To participate in tryouts, students must have passed at least five of their six classes during the Spring 2026 semester.

Tryouts will be held August 4th - 7th immediately following dismissal and lasting until approximately 6:00pm.
