3 Levels of Play Freshman Junior Varsity Varsity

Placement of Players Freshman & JV: The purpose of the freshman and JV teams are to continue to develop players for future varsity play. Players have different skill levels, attitudes, and levels of commitment, and these factors will be considered in earning playing time. Playing time is not guaranteed it is EARNED.

Placement of Players Varsity : Our varsity team is for our most elite athletes. The best players will play as long as they have a TEAM FIRST attitude and hold true to the philosophies of our program. Playing time is not guaranteed and does not depend on grade level. Everyone has the chance to make the varsity team and the best of the best will see playing time.

Captains Eligibility At the beginning of camp we will have the players vote for captains. To be considered a captain players must meet the following criteria. — Follow every guideline in the player handbook. — Have no disciplinary problems in school. — Grades must be up to par in every class. 2.5 GPA or Higher. — Must make at least 90% of the offseason workouts. — Be considered a leader by their peers and the coaching staff. Once captains are assigned they must understand that at anytime they are not following the guidelines in this handbook they may be dismissed from all captain responsibilities.
