FCPS school sports-how does your school let students know tryout results?

Are they emailed to students? Posted or announced in another way? DD's school has not announced anything for her sport.

Emailed at our school but not sure how it works at others.

Coaches may or may not be school employees, and accordingly, may or may not have access to student emails. Frankly, these days, kids do not communicate via email.

Typically a coach will post a list of who made the team, or which team, in one or two relevant places at the school. Outside the gym is an example. The school athletic director will also have a list. A list may also be posted on the team/sport website which may be seperate, but typically a link through the school's website, or the school's "athletic" website.

Email. The coaches might not be teachers, but they are school employees and the students are expected to check their email.

Don't they get the student emails at registration? How else would they communicate with the students?

One team DD was on told each kid in person on the last day of tryouts.

This is how our swim and dive team handles it. The kids go in to see the coaches one at a time and get the decision.

Coaches generally do not communicate with email these days. 1. students do not use email. 2. coaches do not want 1 on 1 contact with any student. 3. Unless a coach is a teacher or other employee of a district, and that is probably less than 50% of the time these days, coaches very often are hired as independent contractors and do not have access to student information.

Typically then -- coaches will communicate with team members through a group text or team site. Parents can (and should) join so they get the information too.

Same with one team my DD was on.

My other DD - the coach sent a group of kids out of the room. She gently told those left in the room they didn't make the team.

Can't they do a mass email to the entire group of tryout kids and say these are the kids who made it?
Alternatively, for private clubs, I've seen a "you made it" form email go out to those who made it and a "sorry you didn't" group email go out to those who did not on BCC.

Think of the data entry versus posting a list in a couple locations.

At DS’s high school tryouts the coach met with each kid one by one and explained why they did or did not make the team.
