CUSD Tryout Procedures
CUSD TRYOUT PROCEDURE
1-2 weeks prior to Tryouts the school Athletic Director (AD) will send an email blast notifying the school community of the sports being offered and how to complete the CUSD Tryout Waiver form. An announcement should be created and played for all students during the school’s daily announcements.
Email/announcement will include date, times, and location of the tryouts. Email will also include criteria being used to select players (Player skill, experience, attitude, athletic ability, versatility, attendance at tryouts/practices/matches)
1 week prior to Tryouts the school AD will hold a student only meeting at the school site (during Brunch, Lunch, or after school).
The meeting will remind the athletes of the date, times, and location of the tryouts. The meeting will also include the criteria used to select players (player skill, experience, attitude, athletic ability, versatility, attendance at tryouts/practices/matches)
Week of Tryouts the coach has up to four days to select the team. Each athlete should have a minimum of one full tryout time period. If an athlete is unable to make the first day of Tryouts it is the athlete’s or the athletes parents’ responsibility to notify the coach or AD of the absence. The coach or AD will then notify the athlete of the next possible Tryout date and time.
The coach or AD will notify the athletes if there will be multiple cuts throughout the week. The coach or AD will educate the athletes on how they will be notified if they will move to the next day of Tryouts or will make the final roster of players. Notifications could be emails to the players moving to the next level or a list that is posted in the locker room/gym window. The coach or AD will only use athletes’ tryout numbers on any notifications that are posted. No names will be used in the posted notifications.
The final team and their parents will be sent an email from the coach or AD that congratulates them and details the registration process.
Prior to athletes receiving their uniform from the school site the athlete must be registered and confirmed by the AD.
