Tuesday will be 9A tryouts ONLY, so players who wish to tryout for 9A should come to the gym from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

All 9th graders and below are encouraged to come to this tryout. This tryout is at a slightly later to accommodate middle school players who may need to finish up their school day. 

Players will be notified of decisions at the end practice. If selected for a team, players will return for the first day of practice Thursday, Oct. 1. 

Players sent home without a team placement will not be able to be a part of this year’s program.

Gym protocol:

For all practices and games, we will be following the COVID-19 Athletic Fall Preparedness Plan.

• Players will be required to wear a mask at all times in the building, on and off the court per MPS guidelines.

• Athletes will enter the school at Door 7 each day, sign in, and all players will sanitize their hands before getting on the court.

• Social distancing will be maintained throughout the time in the gym as best as possible, and all the balls will be sprayed and disinfected at the beginning and end of each practice.

• We will also adhere to the rule of if you feel sick at all stay home and ask that all players and families keep us readily informed of COVID-19 exposure and other health issues. 

In preparation:

• Fill out the 2020 Registration Packet.

• You can drop off your registration form during school hours in the Athletic box or send a digital copy to head coach Robbie Brink (brink.robbie@gmail.com) and athletic director Rob Hollway (Robert.Hollway@mpls.k12.mn.us).

• Make sure you have a current sports physical on file if you are not turning a new one in. The MSHSL has allowed a 1 year extension on all current and valid physicals (so if you have played a sport in the past year for Southwest it is likely that will still be considered current).
