Tryout Candidates:
We are excited you have chosen Texas College as your institution for higher education. Tryouts for the 2022-2023 season will be done in three parts – video submission, zoom interviews and an in-person tryout in August. Video submissions will determine if you are selected for an interview. The following will provide information for many questions you may have about trying out for our program. Please read thoroughly prior to calling or emailing with questions.
Success throughout the tryout process will be based on your professionalism, positive attitude and appearance, as well as the yearly commitment to our program. These areas must be maintained at tryout level throughout the year to remain on the squad.
All candidates must have submitted a video in order to receive an interview invitation. All candidates must provide proof of acceptance, be currently enrolled, or have a pending application to TC prior to tryouts.
