Tryout Schedule

Downstate does tryouts and forms our teams based on school grade. Generally, age groups and grades align as follows:
12s - 6th grade and younger, 13s - 7th grade, 14s - 8th grade, 15s - 9th grade, 16s - 10th grade, 17s - 11th grade, 18s - 12th grade
All athletes should attend tryouts at the location where they will be practicing! Please try to attend all tryouts listed for your age and location.  We will make offers after the tryout for each group - if you will miss the last tryout, please let us know that you are still interested in a spot, if chosen.

Please note that tryouts for younger age groups will begin after the start of the school year. Details to be published soon!
