The first allowed date of tryouts and practices for fall sports is less than a week away - August 12! Here is information about most of our fall teams. Teams that are listed on Wednesday but not the rest of the week usually do not make cuts and will practice at the same time and location (ex: cross country).
Before athletes can participate, they are required to be registered for that sport on Arbiter AND must have a current physical on file. Do not wait until the last minute to have both completed! Coaches will not allow athletes to participate if required paperwork is not completed.

Here are a few other notes:
- Coach Burker of South Hagerstown Cheer has asked for tryout participants to wear a white shirt, black shorts, athletic sneakers, hair up and jewelry taken out.
- Girls Soccer's Coach Gillich says all players should bring a pair of soccer cleats to tryouts. Practices are held on the field between Emma K. Doub and South High.
- Boys Soccer tryouts will begin on Thursday, August 13 at E. Russell Hicks. All athletes should arrive at least 10 minutes early for check-in and should bring plenty of water. If the heat index requires the start time to be pushed back, it will begin 30-60 minutes later depending on WCPS guidelines for the day.
- Coach Welsh of South Hagerstown Cross Country says interested athletes can stay in the loop by joining the team Remind . Practices will begin every day by meeting at the picnic tables along the tennis courts.
- Coach Helman of South Hagerstown High School Volleyball says some athletes who attend the JV tryouts may be asked to tryout with varsity after day 1.
- Golf will begin practice on Monday, August 17.
- Unified tennis will begin practice after the school year begins. Stay tuned for updates.
- Information about girls flag football was not available at the time of this post. Once the information is received, this post will be updated.
