Squad Limits and Squad Selections
Squad Limits and Squad Selections
Students not selected for a squad may be permitted to try-out for another sport during the same season, provided the selection process for that team has not been completed and the head coach is agreeable to the tryout. The student-athlete must obtain approval from the coach no later than two days after receiving notification that he/she was not selected for the first sport he/she attempted to join.
Many sports teams have no squad limits; therefore, all students who meet eligibility requirements and participate in try-out activities/practices become part of the team. However, the nature of certain sports limits the number of team members who can be effectively managed by the coaching staff and/or facilities. Coaches, as the designated professionals in charge of these sports will make student-athletes aware of the criteria for selection. The coaches will maintain records of try-out evaluations, and will provide sufficient opportunity to fairly evaluate and rank student-athletes.
