Hello Weaver Families,
In an effort to make sure everyone is on the same page and to make sure no one is in the dark, here are the following start dates set by OHSAA for our winter sports that we offer at Weaver MS.
Boys & Girls Basketball– MS Tryouts are allowed to start on Oct. 25th, however, due to the WMS Fall Social, tryouts will either start Sat. Oct. 26th or Mon. Oct. 28th. Coaches will communicate with everyone through Final Forms on tryout dates and times. We will have a 7th grade team for both boys & girls, an 8th grade team for both boys & girls, and a Flex/B team for the boys. Please remember the Flex/B team is composed of both 7th & 8th grade boys who were the last cuts from the A team. Also, please remember basketball, both boys & girls, is a roster limited sport, so the maximum number of team members a team can keep is 15 and that number is determined by the coach. There will not be a girls Flex/B team due to the fact we do not have enough girls to field 3 teams.
Cheerleading- MS tryouts will happen on Oct. 21st, 22nd, & 23rd at Weaver MS from 4-7 in both the main and auxiliary gym. Tryouts are allowed to happen in this sport before the season starts which is Oct. 25th, same as basketball.
Wrestling– MS Wrestling is set to start on Monday November 4th. It is a week after basketball so any basketball players cut that want to move to wrestling can go to wrestling practice.
We have a new coach this season, Coach McGuffin-Noll. Practices will be from 6-8 PM on weekdays in the auxiliary gym at Weaver MS. Coach McGuffin-Noll is a teacher in another district, so he cannot make practice until the 6:00 time slot. Wrestling is a Co-ed sport, so both boys and girls are welcome on this team.
If you have any questions, please contact the Athletic Dept. at 614-921-7230. Thank you and best of luck in the winter season.
