All athletes must be approved on DragonFly to be eligible for tryouts.

A new season can be a new start for athletes. It is an opportunity to meet new people, hone in on skills and challenge themselves.

Aidan Flynn, freshman and tennis player, said, “I want to meet a whole bunch of new people. It’s the first year of high school and I think it is going to be awesome.” 

As the spring season approaches, athletes have been preparing to start the season off the best they can.

Some sports, like baseball and lacrosse, have been hosting workouts while others have been training on their own.

Avery Goodwin, junior and varsity softball player, said, “I’m on a travel team for softball so I’ve been doing that year round and I have a membership at a hitting place where I go and practice.” 

Nate Gibbons, freshman and track athlete, said, “ [Training] really brings everything together.” 

Tryouts are just the start to a new season of sports at Leesville.
