We had several questions concerning Fall Sports that might be helpful for
everyone:

1.  Are tryouts just for one day?
No, Monday August 16th is the first day of the season, so it is also the
first day of practice.  Expect to practice Monday - Friday until the season
is over in October or November.

2. Do all fall sports have limited spaces on the teams?
No, some are limited and some are not.  If there are limited spaces on a
team, the coaches will make cuts to meet that number.  For instances, there
are limited spaces on the girls volleyball teams, even with a varsity, jv
and freshman team, so the coaches will be making cuts at each level.
However, cross country does not have limited spaces and cuts will not be
made.

3. Do I have to go all practices?
Yes, it is expected that as a BHS student athlete, you will be serious about
your sport and attend the practices.  If you cannot, you must let your coach
know that you are going to miss and why.

4. How do I contact the coach?
You will get that information on Monday, August 16th.

5. What do I bring on Monday?
- a completed athletic packet, including physical signed by a physician.
Packets are available at the BHS
Administrative Office or at the BHS Athletic Director Office next to Donahue
Gym.
- work out clothes appropriate for the sport

Reminder:  Children's Hospital is giving physicals for $20 on a first-come,
first-served basis. Saturday, August 14th, 9 - 11 am, at Children's Hospital
