It has been way too long! We hope you are doing well and we are excited to see you guys soon.
While nothing is official at this point and everything is subject to change, our athletic department is working hard to figure out how to safely begin our sports seasons! And there is a good chance golf will be one of the first sports to get going; with practice beginning as early as January 19th and competitions likely the first week of March. With that said, we want to be ready! Here are some things to be on top of:
1) Good Grades:
-The semester ends next Friday, so students
must be caught up on all assignments and
prepared for Finals. Athletes must maintain a
2.0 gpa to compete! We have academic
probation, but don't want to flirt with that.
2) Athletic Clearance:
-Athletes must have an athletic physical and
turned in the athletic contract and waiver
forms to participate. Athletic physicals are
good for one calendar year from the date in
which athletes got the physical. The athletic
contract and waiver is good for the entire
school year. Here is a link to the website
with forms.
3) Work/Jobs:
-If students have an after school job, please
make arrangements to change schedules
as needed. Varsity will be practicing and/or
competing Monday through Thursday from
3:30pm until dark. Because of limited
space (Boys and Girls Golf will be the same
season), JV will likely only be practicing two
days a week, Monday and Wednesday,
from 3:30pm until dark. Anyone on the team
is required to attend all practices unless
given prior approval by the coach
4) Commitment and Tryouts:
-As previously mentioned, space is limited
this season. We will, unfortunately, be
required to make cuts due to a 25 person
capacity in our cohorts and a limited amount of space at the golf course. It has been a
goal to grow our program and sport the last
couple of years, so if athletes are unable to
be fully committed or do not make the team,
please talk to one of the coaches to see
how you can stay involved!
5) Get Ready:
-Our varsity team will be very competitive
this year. There are a lot of golfers who have
been working hard to improve their game
and the results have been awesome! If
athletes are wanting to compete with
varsity, they will need to be ready for
tryouts. Get out to the course and practice
over the next couple weeks!
-Our JV team will also be extremely
competitive this year due to limited space.
Although skills are still important at the JV
level, we will really be focusing on
commitment and passion from athletes. If
an athlete is new to golf and worried their
skills are not the greatest, still try out! We
will fill our JV team with athletes who have
passion and commitment first foremost.
6) Be Safe:
-We are still in the middle of a pandemic and
must remain safe. We are lucky to play a
sport where we can play outdoors, maintain social distance, and wear a mask without
changing the spirit of our game.
Please respond if you plan to tryout for golf this year and which team you hope to play with (JV or Varsity). We can’t wait to see you all on the course!
