In order to be considered for the Varsity Roster coaches are looking for the following:

Academics ALWAYS comes first!

Attend ALL posted try-out dates

Always arrive to practice on time and prepared to train hard

Display a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and grow

Follow and acclimate to the G.R.O.W Training Model- Goal setting, what is Realistic for each situation, Obstacles (constructive feedback) /Objectives (adjustments) and Way Forward (Adapt and overcome)

Effective, clear, and respectful communication both on and off the field- PRAISE IN PUBLIC, DISAGREE IN PRIVATE- no snarking on the field- speak with coach in private when something is on your mind

We are all here to have fun and support one another, both on and off the field

All players must be willing to work together as a cohesive unit and play as a team during every practice and game!

There is no minimum playing time on Varsity- we are competing to win on gameday! 

You are setting an example for the younger players- they are watching you- please set a good example for them at all times- help set-up clean-up, carry equipment, etc...

We are representing our school community it is both an honor and a privilege to play high school athletics- have high standards and hold each other accountable

Train hard EVERY SINGLE DAY, your position is NEVER guaranteed from day to day!

Prioritize your high school in-season sport above your club sport

Coaches are also part of the team- it's always "WE".  Mutual trust and respect are based on this premise!
