Info Session, Tryouts, and Practices

Calendar

Check out our Season Calendar for the full schedule.

Info Session

We will hold an online info session on Wednesday, April 16th, at 6pm. This info session is intended for students who are new to ARML.

To participate, please pre-register for the info session on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/zRV2XvwZTWCWXAZyUqhteg

Tryouts

While everyone who’s interested in ARML is able to participate, we will select multiple elite teams of top students who will be ranked against the top teams from other regions. To select these teams, we will hold two online evening tryout opportunities. We will additionally consider ARML Local on April 26/27 to be a tryout as well. While attending a tryout is not required to be selected onto an elite team, it is highly encouraged. Even if you aren’t interested in elite team selection, we still recommend attending tryouts for extra practice!

Practices

We will have three in-person practices this year, during weekends in May.

If you need to miss a practice, get that absence excused by filling out the Practice Absence Form (link will be posted in late April).

Sacramento Area

There are also independent weekly practices for students from the Sacramento area.

If you’re participating in ARML from the Sacramento area, visit our Sacramento page or contact sacramento@sfbanorcalarml.org for more information. Sacramento area students are not required to attend Bay Area practices and do not need to fill out Practice Absence Forms.
