  - NO tryout fee
  - Player selection will be complete and notification will occur by December 1st. Cost upon making the team is $250.00 (players are provided a uniform).  A deposit of $125.00 (half the yearly fee) is due on December 15th with the remainder due by February 1st.  Tournaments are pay as you attend, and the fees for each tournament vary (any where from $50 to $100 +/-).

2. Will there by a second tryout? What if I cannot attend on November 15th?
  - THERE IS NO OTHER TRYOUT. If you have a compelling reason that you cannot attend Sunday's tryout you must contact the Team manager directly. No player will be rostered on the Dawgs without an evaluation.
