Coaches will look at all aspects of the tryout phase to determine a final roster. This will include, but not be limited to the following: attendance, results, attitude, work ethic and leadership ability. Due to limited entries set by FCPS and Meet Directors, athletes are not guaranteed a chance to compete at all or any meets. Coaches will do their best to get as many athletes entered as possible. Athletes with too many excused/unexcused practices in a week of a competition will not compete.
