TCAL Athletics

Boys and Girls Varsity (7th-8th grades) Basketball tryouts are scheduled next week and hopefully Boys and Girls JV (5th-6th grades) will be soon to follow.  

JV (5th & 6th Grade) Girls and Boys Basketball Coaches Needed!

We are in desperate need of coaches for BOTH Boys and Girls JV Basketball.  If we do not have any volunteers by Tuesday, October 12th we will have to cancel our JV seasons.  

At this time, 6th grade students will tryout for Varsity, but, unfortunately, they are going to have an extremely hard time competing against our 7th and 8th grade students due to the age and size differences.  So, I would prefer to have them tryout for their age group, so the competition is fair. However, we NEED JV coaches ASAP.  

Tryout Information
All of the boys and girls season information can be found in the below Varsity information as it is all the same EXCEPT JV games will typically start at 5:30.  So, if you have the time and experience in basketball and are willing to commit to coaching, please contact Chad.Mollick@LutzPrep.org ASAP.
