Required items to be completed before tryouts:
- Player online registration is required by going to https://registration.teamsnap.com/form/9259 to complete the online player registration process prior to arriving at tryouts. NOTE: we have changed our registration process to use TeamSnap this year so it will work slightly differently.

After the end of the regular season, players are expected to participate in the very exciting East Coast Homeschool Nationals Tournament in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from March 3 to 7, 2025. In addition, the JV Boys, Varsity Girls, and Varsity Boys teams will be participating in an early season tournament in Charleston, SC on November 15-16, 2024.
The Middle School Boys Developmental (MSB-Dev) team will play a shortened schedule of 10-12 games, will be non-conference for NCHEAC, and will NOT participate in any postseason tournaments, including the NCHEAC tournaments and East Coast Homeschool Nationals tournament.
We look forward to seeing you soon. GO SABRES!!
