Tryouts will be held in April for both returning students and incoming freshman.  The dates are tryouts are April 26 and 27, 2008.  Incoming Freshman must present proof of acceptance to Wesleyan and proof of deposit in order to tryout in April.  All incoming freshman are encouraged to attend an open gym clinic in February  in order to prepare for the two day tryout on April 26 and 27, 2008.  More information about Open Gym can be found under the Open Gym Link located to the right.  Freshman who can not attend the April  tryout or who have decided to attend Wesleyan later than April,  may tryout at the August tryout after students return to school.  However, spots on the squad could be limited.  It is recommended that all freshman attend the February clinic and those who can attend April tryouts do so.  Athletes trying out in April will have more time to learn football material, pay for cheer apparel, and attend camp over the summer.
