Tryout Schedule: (Link)
Vacation Policy It is the expectation of the athletic department that athletes make a commitment to a team when they try out. Athletes are required to attend all practices/games. Vacations by athletic team members during a sport season are discouraged and each day missed may be considered an unexcused absence.
Squad Selection and Cutting Policies Choosing the members of athletic squads is the sole responsibility of the coaches of those squads. Prior to trying out, the coach shall provide the following information to all candidates for the team: dates of try-out period, criteria used to select the team, practice commitment for the team members, and game commitments. When a squad cut becomes necessary, all coaches must conduct a minimum of three (3) days of tryouts, beginning no earlier than the first allowable tryout date stated in the Virginia High School League Handbook. It is the responsibility of each candidate to attend each of these tryout days. All students trying out for the team will be informed by a letter if they did or did not make the squad. No cut list will be posted. Coaches will discuss alternative possibilities for participation in the sport or other areas in the activities program.
A minimum of three days of tryouts must occur for teams with limited roster capacity and where cuts are made to fill team rosters. Athletes have up to the 10th day of a sport season to tryout for non-cut sports programs. An athlete may only try out for one sport per season, unless they are cut from one sport and decide to participate in a non-cut sport in the same season.

All athletes must attend tryouts/practices beginning with the first date of tryouts.
