The Bourbonnais Upper Grade Center (BUGC) has released the details on its sports tryouts for baseball and softball.
Baseball tryouts for grades six, seven and eight will be held from 9-11:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 1; from 9-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2; and from 9-10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3 at the school. Prospective athletes should plan to be at all three days of tryouts. For multi-sports athletes, they may attend but should be willing to make baseball the priority.
If you want to tryout, you must turn in a signed insurance waiver form, which can be picked up in the PE and/or main office of the school; have an up-to-date physical on file with the school (a physical is good for one year from its date); and email your name, grade and top two positions to Coach Arlis. More information and documents are available on the BUGC Baseball website, www.besd53.org/Page/126.
Tryouts for girls softball for grades six, seven and eight will be held Wednesday through Friday, July 27-29. On July 27, registration will begin at 7:40 a.m. with tryouts lasting from 8-10 a.m. The second day of tryouts will run from 8-10 a.m., with pitchers and catchers going until 10:45 a.m., and the first cuts getting made. The third day of tryouts will run from the same time, with final cuts being made.
Players should bring a glove, pants, water and any other additional gear they may have. They must also have a signed insurance waiver and a photocopy of a current sports physical. For more information, contact Tiffany Lanoue at lanouet@besd53.org.
