Tryout Info
Team Placement Process
At Hazard, our teams are designated as Black, White, and Blue. Each season, athletes are evaluated and, in some cases, roster movement occurs. Athletes may have developed new skills or a coach may need to fill a specific role both of which can impact team assignments. Movement between “A” and “B” teams is a normal and necessary part of the tryout process. Keeping a player on an A team who is no longer the best fit would be unfair to a B team athlete or new player who has earned that opportunity. Movement between teams after rosters are set in the summer does not typically occur.
Team decisions are made immediately following tryouts in a closed coaches’ meeting. Parents and players are not involved in this process. Head coaches of all A teams, in coordination with their respective B team coaches, make initial selections. Once A teams are finalized, B team coaches complete their rosters and so on based on the remaining talent pool. Generally each team will have 9-11 athletes.
Team selections will be emailed by Saturday, June 21. To secure your spot, deposits and contracts must be submitted by Tuesday, June 24. The deposit is non-refundable and used to secure your spot on the team. We begin preparing for the season early, using these funds to cover expenses such as tournament entry fees, uniforms, gym rental, etc. Because these costs are incurred well before the season begins, any payments made are non-refundable. We expect all players to honor the agreement made upon accepting the position.
Season Information
Practice will typically begin in mid November twice per week (October for 11s and 12s teams). All teams will attend 8-10 tournaments total. The season ends around mid April.
