Tryout Policy
All of Genevieve Didion policies regarding athletics follow those set forth by the Sacramento City Unified School District, whose policies are based on the Rules associated with each sport in season.
All Didion students in grades 6, 7, 8 are eligible to try out for either boys or girls team during the tryout period. Some preference will be given to students in grades 7 and 8. Coaches may select additional 6th graders if there are not enough 7th and 8th graders trying out for the team or if the current 7th/8th graders do not meet the qualifications set forth by the coaches. Other factors used to determine the final rosters will be experience, ability level, and demonstrated commitment during tryouts. Questions about these criteria should be directed to the appropriate coach. Didion coaches will run the tryout program and determine the final roster. They are given the discretion to make these determinations and neither the school staff or athletic director will overrule this process.
Online Required Sports Forms
Students who make any sports team will also be required to complete the mandatory forms through the Home Campus online system. You will need to create a profile online and complete the required paperwork. The physical form must be signed by your medical doctor (the form is available for download in the Home Campus system).
Once on file, these forms will be sufficient for all school sports for the 2025-2026 school year. See district instructions here.
