Why do we ask you to try out versus your GRAD CLASS vs. AGE? We speak with parents all the time about this, and we have our thoughts. We always start you in your GRAD CLASS because it best fits the recruiting timeline for college. If you think you need to play up or play down based on skill level or age, we can always have a conversation with you on what your thoughts, needs, and concerns would be.
