Looking at the sign ups on Final Forms, it is most probable that we will have a combined 7th/8th grade team this season. 

Players must have an up-to-date physical on file in Final Forms to participate in open gyms and tryouts.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to start times so that we can begin at the given start time. All open gyms and tryouts will be held in the Genoa gym. Come with water, athletic shoes, gloves, bats, helmets, and softball pants. If your player does not have a bat or helmet we will have some for them to use.

All athletes must meet eligibility requirements established for WCS. Eligibility requirements include passing at least 4 classes and a minimum of a 1.75 GPA.

At the coaches' discretion, ineligible students may participate on a practice-only basis until the next grading period. If eligibility status improves to 'eligible' based on quarter grades, then the athlete will be permitted to start playing in games as well. 

Please Note: The decision to permit student athletes that are ineligible on a team is solely determined by the coach of each team.
