Tryout Location: Central Diesel Power Company Boathouse, 4220 Blair St., Hazelwood, PA 15207

Wear/Bring to Tryouts: Your son should wear non-baggy athletic shorts, a T-shirt, and running shoes. Bring a water bottle, sunglasses, and/or a cap.  You may drop your son off or stay. The boathouse can be a bit tricky to find.  Please use the address above to locate the street where you can park (Blair St). We will have varsity team members to help direct you to the boathouse. You cannot drive to the boathouse; it is on a dirt/gravel path/road off of Blair St. Please do NOT drive down the dirt road to pick up/drop off; access is restricted.

 

Boys should attend both days of the tryouts. However, if there is a conflict on one of the days, please let us know, and we can work to accommodate.
