Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are exercising extra caution during football tryouts this season. In order for us to safely follow GHSA guidelines, we are limiting the number of students who will be on the field or in the gym at one time. Sixth grade, seventh grade and eighth grade students will each have separate designated tryout dates to participate in. The dates for each grade are listed below, and keep in mind each participant must be academically eligible and have a current physical on file in order to try out. Please remain active in preparation for tryouts. If you have any questions, please contact Coach Ivester via email at aren.ivester@dcssga.org.

See you in the fall,

Coach Ivester, Coach Kilgore and Coach Watson
