Junior Varsity

Team and individual skills are sharpened in preparation for the jump to a varsity schedule that is more competitive and demanding. Playing time is at the discretion of the coach but a concerted effort should be made to play all suited out athletes.

Varsity

The emphasis is to field the best team possible. Maturity and skill level of the student athlete are key ingredients for varsity players. At this level there are no guarantees of playing time.
