Doors will open at 7:15 AM prior to all morning practices. We will meet in the locker room to start each day.

Gear distribution will take place during workouts on July 21, 23, and 24. Anyone who does not receive gear during this time must come to distribution from 3 PM – 5 PM on July 28 and 29. Gear distribution will take place in the stadium and to the left of the game field.

Required gear players must buy:

• Cleats
• 5-pad girdle
• Combination lock for locker

During tryouts/training camp, players must bring daily:

• Athletic shoes
• Athletic clothes for lifting, film, & meetings
• Cleats
• 5-pad girdle
• Water
• Lunch (players will not be allowed to leave school grounds)
• NO ENERGY DRINKS!!

Players may wear generic athletic clothing at team events. Unacceptable clothing includes pajamas, clothing in the color of that week’s opponent, clothing with messaging that is not school-appropriate, and clothing that does not fit the weather for the time of year.

Absences:

Players will be removed from the team after three unexcused absences. Unexcused absences are “no-shows” and absences where the reason is not communicated until after the absence (except for emergencies).

Players are expected to attend all practices throughout the season. Absences for things like illness, important family gatherings (weddings, etc.), doctor appointments, etc. must be communicated to both the player’s position coach and the head coach before missing.
