Every scholar returning, new or interested, is required to try out for placement consideration. If due to injury, inability to attend due to quarantine, etc., we will provide an alternative for review, including but not limited to prior knowledge of scholar or tentative placement consideration, etc. Each situation will be individually assessed.
