We will have a clinic each night from April 28th to May 2nd from 3:45-5 in the Tin Gym. All current students and students entering 9th grade next year at Salem High School must attend at least 2 nights of clinics.
Anyone interested in trying out MUST have an up-to-date physical on file or have one turned in on the first night they are at clinics.
SHS students can pick up tryout packets from Mrs. Hogan in room #138. Rural school students should check with their school offices for a packet. Packets must be turned in filled out and signed in order for the athlete to attend clinics or tryouts. Packets will need to be turned in at clinics, not before.
Thank you so much!
