Tryouts

All athletes wishing to try out for a sport must have a current physical on file with the trainer/MCA athletic department in order to participate in tryouts.

Fall

State law mandates you must have a current physical on file in order to tryout for any school sport. There will be no exceptions to this; therefore please make every provision to obtain the physical as soon as possible. In this current climate, there is a 30-day grace period allowed from the date of expiration from your last physical. For your convenience, we have checked with Novant and Atrium Health. They are now taking non-sick appointments. CVS Minute Clinic is also taking appointments. Visit the facility of your choice to obtain all the information needed. Also, some offices are also willing to conduct virtual appointments as long as your child’s immunization records are up to date. We will collect these forms on the day of tryouts. Please click here for the required physical form that must be submitted to tryout.

Varsity Boys Football (rising 10th-12th grade boys): Monday June 1, Tuesday June 2, and Thursday June 4 from 5pm-8pm. We will abide by the Governor’s Orders, as we will most likely be in Phase 2 of the re-opening process at this time. Tryouts will start at school in the weight room. Groups will be divided up to keep aligned with the recommended numbers. We will be at the school from 5:00-6:30pm. At that point, we will travel to the field and practice from 6:50-8:00pm. We will do our best to ensure that we don’t have much physical contact with one another as to help with social distancing. Drop off will be at the school. Pick up will be at the field. If you do not feel comfortable with your son participating please contact Head Coach Thomas Langley. In the event of inclement weather, tryouts will still go on in the MCA gymnasium.

JV/MS Boys Football (rising 7th-9th grade boys): Monday June 1^st, Tuesday 2^nd, and Thursday 4^th, from 6-8pm at the football field. We will abide by the Governor’s Order’s, as we will most likely be in Phase 2 of the re-opening process at this time. We will do our best to ensure that we don’t have much physical contact with one another as to help with social distancing. During this time, players will be put through positional drills, team drills, agility drills, etc… to help us evaluate their level of skill. At the end of tryouts Thursday, the coaches will determine who will be on the JV/MS Team. If your son makes the team, summer practices will start the following Monday June 8^th. If you do not feel comfortable with your son participating please contact Head Coach Rex Medlin or Varsity Coach Thomas Langley.
