TRYOUTS for Basketball & Tennis

Dates are set for basketball and tennis tryouts.  You do NOT need to complete any forms or signups for your child to attend tryouts. They should just show up with appropriate clothing, shoes, and water.  Participation in both days of tryouts is required for all sports.  Please Note:

    • Students missing tryouts due to Cross Country will have the opportunity to do a makeup.  Please reach out to AD  Wells at [email protected].
    • There will be two Tennis teams, a “varsity” and a “JV/practice” team.  Both teams will be co-ed.

When and How Are Rosters Announced?
Rosters are typically finalized by the end of tryouts week and posted by Student ID outside Mr. Wells’ classroom, so please let your child know to check there.  You can fill out the Roster Notification Form to receive an email letting you know if your child made the team or not.  If you don’t fill out this form and your child does not make the team, you will not get any notification.

What Else Do I Need to Know?
Find out all you need to know about competitive sports at spmsathleticboosters.org/competitive.  Please make sure you are aware of the tryout expectations and eligibility requirements.  Email info@spmsathleticboosters.org if you have questions.
