Parent Information
Sharks will continue to hold tryouts in the Fall when the school seasons end. We believe the school season is an important season for player development. We believe it’s best to place players on teams after that development has occurred to properly place all athletes.
Parents please see the draft tournament schedule for all ages groups as well as the parent meeting slides.
