Below you will find details about the boys’ program at Lanier.  The schedule for the season is still being determined and will be posted on the school website in January. 

Tryouts:  The following paperwork must be turned in prior to trying out.  If you have submitted paperwork for another sport you don’t need to do it again, you will need to fill out the informational sheet only.

• HISD Physical Form 
• Parent Approval Form - notarized for 7^th graders
• HISD Athletic Insurance, pay on SchoolPay (see Athletics homepage) OR  Insurance Waiver - must be notarized and the original, no copies

*There will be additional forms required once an athlete makes the team.

The official tryouts will be January 7th, 8th and 9th:  We will begin at 4:00pm and end at 5:30pm.  

Number of Athletes:  There will be approximately 15-20 boys chosen for each the 7^th and 8^th grade teams.  Membership will be based on your try-out and your ability to contribute to the team.

Practices: 

Absences from Practices and Meets: 

Grades:  Team members are expected to remain in good academic standing.  Failure (grade below a 70) in any class at the UIL grade check dates will result in a team member being ineligible for all meets in the next three-week period.  An ineligible athlete will continue to practice while regaining eligibility.  If grades don’t improve an ineligible athlete may be dropped from the team.

Equipment:  Athletes may wear shorts/pants, t-shirt and running shoe of their choosing to practice.  As most of our practices will not be on an official track we will practice in running shoes, if we are able to find a track to occasionally use we will practice in spikes.  A Lanier track uniform to be used at meets will be provided by the school.  You do have the option to purchase your own spikes, but that is not a requirement.
