SFBA / NorCal ARML


Practices and Tryouts

Calendar

Check out our Season Calendar for the full schedule.

Info Session

We will hold an online info session on Thursday, April 16th, at 6pm. This info session is intended for students and parents who are new to ARML.

Register for the info session at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Qz5fxEYVRtyY2H_X2ezsvQ to receive the Zoom link.

This info session will be recorded and made available online.

Tryouts

While everyone who’s interested in ARML is able to participate, we will select multiple elite teams of top students who will be ranked against the top teams from other regions. To select these teams, we will hold four online tryout opportunities. We will additionally consider ARML Local on April 19th to be a tryout as well, and scores from this in-person event will be weighed more heavily during team selection. While attending tryouts is not required, we highly encourage attending at least two of these five tryouts for anyone interested in being selected for an elite team. Even if you aren’t interested in elite team selection, we still recommend attending tryouts for extra practice!

Practices

We will have three in-person Bay Area practices this year, during weekends in May. Practice attendance is highly recommended for everyone and required for students on elite teams.

If you really need to miss a practice, get that absence excused by filling out the Practice Absence Form.

Sacramento Area

There are also independent weekly practices for students from the Sacramento area.

If you’re participating in ARML from the Sacramento area, visit our Sacramento page or contact sacramento@sfbanorcalarml.org for more information. Sacramento area students are not required to attend Bay Area practices.
