Would all players who have completed play this season please return all shirts, vests and golf bags to Coach Seals in room 246.  Thank you.

For the rest of the golf season, up to Regionals, all golf practices are for the top six and the two coach's designated alternates.  All other players are finished for the season.  Girls on the co-ed team should get together with Coach Buxton to prepare for the qualifiers.  Those golfers not in the top eight or paticipating in the girls' tournament should turn in their shirts and bags to Coach Seals.

I have constructed a tentative schedule of matches and practices for the 2008 season.  I have place a link in the team files section.

Tryouts for the Chantilly HS varsity co-ed golf team will be held August 1, 4th and 5th, 2008. Prospective players will tee-off at Virginia Golf Academy Golf Complex on Clifton Road at 10:30 on Friday, Aug. 1. Players will have an opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency on the range as well as chipping and putting. The number of prospective players who will be asked to return for the second stage of tryouts will be no more than 12. Monday and Tuesday afternoon tryouts will consist of two 18-hole rounds at courses to be named. On Tuesday, the final team will be selected. Due to limited playing opportunities, facilities and resources, the final team will consist of 10-12 players.

Criteria for Selection
Our team will be selected with the following considerations in mind: overall skill, years of experience, tournament experience, attitude and dedication. While stroke averages are a good indicator of skill level, the team will not be chosen by scores alone. With only 10-12 spots available, we will be selecting individuals with both a high skill level and a strong commitment to the game and to our overall program. Most of our August competitions are 18 hole tournaments. It is expected that all prospective players are in excellent physical condition and can carry their bags in these types of conditions.


Team Structure
Most of our tournaments and matches only include the top 4-6 players. Matches against our district opponents will include 6 players and 2 alternates. Because of the way that our program is structured, players 7-12 will not see much playing/practice time in the month of August. Alternates may be rotated in our district matches to allow more playing time. Every effort is being made to include as many players as possible throughout the course of the season.

Physicals and Emergency Care Information
All students must turn in a physical and an emergency care card into the Activities office or to me personally prior to trying out on Aug. 1st. There will be no exceptions.

Odds and Ends
All students trying out must be wearing a collared shirt and appropriate shorts. No denim or cutoffs allowed. All golf shoes must have soft spikes. No metal spikes will be allowed on the golf course or practice facilities. Players are encouraged to bring water and snacks, as most courses will not accept cash for food or drink.

Also, transportation to and from all team competitions and functions must be provided by either the player or his or her guardian.
