The Wilson Dirtbags, our AAA Legion team, will be having tryouts June 1st and June 2nd. They will take place at Dallas High School at 6:00 PM both evenings. The cost for the season is $650. The team asks that each player bring $300 of that total to tryouts. If the player makes the team it goes towards the total fee and and the player does not make the team the money is returned. There will be opportunities to get sponsors to help with the cost for those interested.

The West Salem D1 and D2 teams will have tryouts June 2nd and 3rd. These will be held at West Salem High School at 6:00 PM. The cost for the summer is yet to be determined. Players who will be 9th graders to 12th graders at West Salem next school year (2016-2017) are encouraged to tryout.

Please keep in mind that these are tryouts and there is the potential for a player to NOT make a team. A player's previous team has no bearing on whether they make a team.

Schedules for for the D1 and D2 summer seasons are posted on our site. Please keep in mind they are subject to change and games at both levels will likely be added.
