SCHS athletic apparel is OK. .  Student-athletes must be academically eligible (2.0 or higher GPA and pass four classes each semester) in order to participate Evaluation Criteria  Tenacity- Win 50/50 balls and individual matchups, and bring maximum effort every day  Coachability- Maintain a positive, productive attitude when learning new skills/tactics while immediately applying coaching instruction. Patience is given with every studentathlete, but those who demonstrate proactive reinforcement of instruction will receive stronger consideration than those who need regular reminders of previous instruction  Athleticism- A mini-combine will test speed, strength, and overall fitness through a combination of swimming, mobility, and leg strength exercises Commitment  All three levels practice or play games Monday through Friday, and occasionally on Saturdays during the official high school season. Training will begin on August 17th, which is the first day of school, and end November 20th Informational Meeting  Due to the Boys' and Girls’ Junior Olympics and the deck resurfacing of the SCHS pool deck in early August, a mandatory parent and player meeting will likely take place just before the start of the Fall semester
