With winter tryouts coming up, there are many sports you can tryout for this season. Some of the most popular choices are basketball and soccer, along with wrestling, rugby, fencing and roller hockey.

Students can tryout for whichever sport this year. Even though it is uncertain whether any student will make the team or not, the student can always try your hardest. According to veteran JV Basketball Player Junior Davis Gabriel, “Good ways to warm up is to get your pre-game music, hydrate, stretch and be ready to compete.”

Tryouts will take place at Claver Center, Manchester Stadium, and the Green Room at different times. Basketball tryouts will take place this Saturday, November 15th, Monday the 17th, and Tuesday the 18th. As for soccer, tryouts will take place at the football field, all week next week. The first three days of next week are reserved for girls’ soccer tryouts. Rugby tryouts will also be at the football field on Satudray the 15th from 9-12 in the morning. Wrestling tryouts will take place in the CCHS Green Room, Monday and Friday after school.

This year the Dons also did something different by adding a freshman soccer team. Junior soccer player Eddy Aiza said, “I like the idea because it gives more kids the opportunity to play.” Other sports that allow freshman to play on their own team are basketball and waterpolo.

All in all, if you’re thinking about trying out, give it a chance because you never know what opportunities will arise.
