FAQs
1) Does my child need a physical to participate in tryouts? Only rising 9th-12th graders need a physical to participate in tryouts. You can find instructions on athletic registration at https://sprayberryathletics.com/2018/04/14/2018-2019-athletic-registration-instructions/. Even though the instructions are dated for 2018, they apply to this school year as well. Everything is filled out and uploaded through Parentvue. You can start the step-by-step process now and print out the needed forms via Parentvue. It is very important that this is completed before tryouts.
2) How can my daughter get ready for tryouts? Please check out these websites for some local training opportunities scheduled for next week - https://www.cobbatlanta.com/calendar and https://www.phoenixrisingvb.com/skills-training.
