Hello Everyone! For those interested in Rifle, tryouts are

• 5-7 pm Thursday, August 25th
• 3-5 pm Friday, August 26th
• 3-5 pm Monday, August 29th

Practices and tryouts are held at Tanana Valley Sportsmen's Association across from Fred Meyer West, on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday 3-5 pm, Thursday practices are 5-7 pm. with matches almost every Saturday starting September 10.  No prior experience is necessary and all equipment will be provided.

So far we have quite a few students interested in trying out for the team.  The team will be cut to 12 students, you will need to show your best every time you are at the range.  Attitude, coachability, and enthusiasm matter more than skill during tryouts.   

There is a $25 tryout fee that covers ammo, targets, and gear rentals. This fee is non-refundable but will be credited towards the participation fee if you make the team.  Fees should be paid directly to the front office once we are back in the building.  The participation fee for the 2022/23 season has increased to $400 to cover the costs of materials and ammunition.  

I highly encourage all students who make the team to get a sponsorship/donation letter from the front office to cover their participation fee and solicit donations from businesses and individuals, make sure their donation is designated for the rifle team and student fees can be adjusted based on donations received.  Donations can also be made to cover team expenses or to upgrade/replace equipment. If you need help covering the fee, please contact the front office.

Any athlete wishing to try out must have all the required forms and sports physicals completed and uploaded to PlanetHS prior to participating in tryouts.  The website requires BOTH a student account and a parent/guardian account so that forms can be electronically signed.  Students will not be allowed to participate until all forms are completed and tryouts will end on August 29 and tryouts will not be extended if you do not have the physical and forms completely. 

Please feel free to contact me at ameliaKdell@gmail.com if you have any questions. I look forward to a great season!
