So much for equity.

That was the case at our school (Whitman). There was a training camp the week before tryouts that wasn't mandatory but the vast majority of the kids did. And no exceptions for tryouts - you had to be there and then of course be there for the full pre-season.

I think it may be August 9 for next year. I know our fall coaches actually told us the date of next year's tryouts.

Either way - 2nd week is also out for vacation.

Yeah it was august 10 this year. Don't plan anything after the second week

3rd week is definitely out, 2nd week probably out. They started on the 10th this year, but I don’t know the exact date for next year.

Our HS tryouts started August 10 this year. JV soccer first, then both through the weekend. I'm sure other schools vary.

When do these happen, usually? I know it’s easy but I am trying to figure out if an August vacation is feasible or if it would mean missing the try-puts for JV. My kid is currently in 8tj grade. We can’t go the first week, so I was thinking of going the second and third week of August.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
