Tryout and Club FAQs

What if my daughter plays multiple sports?
Multi-sport athletes are encouraged in our gym.
All we ask is they attend ALL non-local tournaments, and attend master coaching practices on Sundays.
Any practices missed because of other sports will need to be communicated with their head coach at least a week prior and designate a time to attend a makeup practice to ensure the athlete does not fall behind in the WWVA curriculum.
WWVA respects all sports and request that same respect back.
