Tryout Waiver Request
  • If your child is unable to attend a tryout due to injury, illness or an unavoidable conflict — and for fifth and sixth grade, this includes either of the two scheduled tryouts — you may fill out a waiver request form in advance, explaining the reason. This does not guarantee that the HBA board will approve your child missing a tryout, but the board will consider the request and determine the most fair way to handle the situation.
