Tryout Passport Registration
- If you plan to start tryouts at AA, select all of the levels.
- If you plan to start tryouts at A, select all levels except AA.
- If you plan to start tryouts at BB, select BB and B.
- If you are only trying out for B, only select B.
The WGHA will generate tryout lists, based on your responses, so please be sure to indicate the correct level. Please do not select a level if you are not attending that tryout.
Please keep in mind,
If you are a player - work hard in games and practices all season long – stand out – do the little things – win your battles – be a great teammate. You never know who is watching.
If you are a parent, BE REALISTIC! Understand and appreciate your daughter’s abilities or lack thereof. DO NOT apply added pressure during this already stressful time. Don’t worry if they miss a pass, fall during a skating drill, lose a race, etc. They are bound to make mistakes at this time, they ALL do! Refrain from rink chatter and discussions about other players abilities. DO NOT start rumors or contribute to them. Nobody is interested in your opinions at this time. Don’t become a “parent cut”.
