Gotha Grizzly Athletic Information
If you are interested in becoming a member of one of our Grizzly Athletic Teams please see the following information below! Our Athletic Teams compete against other schools in our Cluster as well as other schools in OCPS. There are a limited number of Athletes that can make the team and each sport will use Tryout Platform to have Athletes perform drills, conditioning, scrimmages, and other activities to evaluate and compile a list of players who will represent Gotha Athletics! ALL Athletes MUST complete the Athletic Packet Sign-up Process by the deadlines listed in order to be eligible to tryout for a sport.
Sports General Information- Practices are held daily with generally two games a week for Soccer, Basketball and Volleyball and one meet in Track a week. Athletes are expected to attend all of the practices unless they have arranged with the coach otherwise. Athletes are required to have and maintain a 2.0 average AND exhibit exemplary behavior to be considered and remain on any Gotha Sports team.
Season Dates and Athletic Packet Deadline on Aktivate- Please leave yourself time to get your Athlete approved in case you have not completely filled out the packet or there is an issue with the Physical or forms and you need to make corrections.
