Overview
During the spring season, 8th graders on the middle school team who want to push themselves to the next level will have the opportunity to also play with the high school JV team.
Tryouts will be held at the JV team practices the week of March 23. Thereafter, attendees will be notified by email of the coaches' decision.
8th graders who make the JV team can then register on TeamSnap.

8th graders playing with the JV team can choose to practice/play on whichever days fit their schedule.
