2026 Season Dates/Information

• ALL LEVELS (Varsity, JV, and Freshmen) Three days of tryouts begin Monday, August 3rd, 8:00am – 12:00pm.  
• Once teams are selected, practice will remain 8:00am – 12:00pm Monday – Saturday. Freshmen may be release earlier, which will be announced in advance.
• Beginning August 14th, Varsity and JV practice will be held 3:30pm – 6:30pm and Freshmen practice will end at 5:30pm.  
• All prospective players are expected to be registered and at tryouts on the day they begin.  If you have an unavoidable conflict, you must contact Coach Shapiro, in advance.
  • Click HERE for information on how to submit your physical and register.
• All prospective players are highly recommended to come to the spring weight room hours on Mondays/Thursdays/Friday from 3:30pm – 4:30pm and Tuesdays from 4:15pm – 5:15pm. Additional workout/competition information will be distributed in the weight room and/or on Remind when they are scheduled.  
• Summer strength/conditioning will take place (time TBD) from the end of the school year through the end of July, with a VHSL dead period (no contact with coaches) from June 22 – July 5.  This would be a great time to take a family vacation and not miss any workouts!
• At present time, the ONLY participation allowed for rising freshmen players (current 8th graders) is to use the weight room during weight room hours.  Over the summer, we will offer conditioning and speed training.

Green Day Information

Green Days will be held on June 2-4 from 3:30pm – 5pm, either on the turf or practice grass.  Players must have a physical on file from this school year.  Wear athletic clothes and cleats, and bring water.
