Students should sign up for Team App (www.teamapp.com) for all sports which they are interested in receiving additional information about. Sport-specific information is posted to Team App for green days (off-season workouts), tryouts and practices. Once registered for Team App www.teamapp.com, sign up for YHS - 'sport name" (ie - YHS - baseball or YHS - field hockey, etc).

Football (JV and V) - Tryouts begin August 3.  Practice times will almost certainly be 2:30-5:30ish pm daily with an occasional 7-10 am practice weather dependent.  Students can't join after August 6 unless space allows.  There have been cuts the past few years and any decisions on who is on the team will be determined by the number of students attending tryouts and will be made by the end of the second week.  Practices take place Monday-Saturday. All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.

Football (8th and FR) – Tryouts begin on August 10 with times TBD - either 7-10 am (if weather requires) or 2:30-5:30 pm Monday-Friday and Saturday mornings.  Students will not be allowed to join tryouts after August 12. Team composition decisions are typically made by the end of the second week of tryouts. All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 10 should disclose this information to the coach on August 10 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal.

Volleyball - Will begin on Monday, August 3 with afternoon/evening tryouts and continue throughout the week with a mandatory team event Friday night at the school. All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year.  As a team sport where players must learn to work together and perform as a group, players should not plan to miss any time after August 3 - doing so can result in removal from the team.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 3 should disclose this information to the coach on August 3 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal.

Field Hockey - Will begin on Monday, August 3 with afternoon/evening tryouts.  All players who make the team are expected to attend daily practices throughout the month of August and into the school year. As a team sport where players must learn to work together and perform as a group, players should not plan to miss any time after August 3 - doing so without prior disclosure before tryouts will result in removal from the team.  Any student who will miss more than one day after August 3 should disclose this information to the coach on August 3 at the start of tryouts – such information will not exclude the student from making the team but lack of disclosure can result in removal.
