Tryouts for sports at WJ are held by season. Fall sports tryouts generally begin on the 2nd Saturday of August. Please note that 2012 Fall tryouts begin on August 11th! Winter tryouts may begin on November 15th and Spring tryouts on March 1st. Tryouts for Spirit Squads are generally held late in the school year for the following year so that interested participants may attend summer camps.

Students participating on athletic teams must have all of the necessary paperwork completed on the first day of tryouts or practice (or when instructed by the coach). Students should also be aware of MCPS eligibility requirements and be prepared to pay the MCPS extracurricular activity fee.

Cross Country, Indoor Track and Track & Field do not generally hold tryouts. Athletes should report to the first practices for those teams in good condition and ready to begin running or participating in their field events.

Tryout information for Winter and Spring sports is disseminated at school by posters, coaches meetings and morning announcements. Fall sports tryout information is posted below as it becomes available.

Fall 2012 Tryouts - Weather will be HOT. Water will be available but everyone should also bring their own water to drink; and don't forget your sunscreen!
