Sign Up for Tryout Information Just as with sports teams, because of the limitation of spots for tournament entries, we must limit our team to 100 students. This requires a tryout to earn these spots. Each academic year has tryouts in late April for the following academic year. Information for the tryout requirements is emailed to students the last week of March giving them three weeks to prepare. To receive this email, please click the link above.
