  Athletes enter the tryout process determined to give it their all and achieve their goal of making one of our teams. Tough decisions need to be made by the coaching staff and will always be made with thorough consideration. The coaches will always make decisions based on what is best for the team as a whole. All decisions are final and are not up for negotiation. 

  We understand the disappointment one can feel if they fall short of their goals. We encourage all athletes to use that to fuel their drive to work even harder to make their dreams come true!

  Coaches will be available for conversations about tryout results on Monday, April 27. Please refrain from contacting the coaching staff until Monday, April 27. Emails sent prior to Monday, April 27th, will not be viewed or replied to. Please send another email after the indicated date for a response.

  If an athlete would like to speak to Coach Mikayla and Jenn about their tryout results, they are encouraged to send a respectful email to mscheer@eastpennsd.org. Please note that we like to promote responsibility and the value of self-advocacy for our athletes. Because of this, we would prefer an email directly from the athlete rather than a parent/guardian. Also, this allows the coaching staff to provide the athlete with direct feedback from the judges and enables the staff to inform the athlete about what they can work on throughout the year. Tryout scores will not be shared with the athlete, instead we will go over the feedback/comments from the judges. The coaching staff will never, at any time, discuss another athlete on the team with other athletes or parents.
