GENERAL INFORMATION |
APPLICATION MATERIALS |
Update for 2022: We have transitioned our applications into a GDocs format instead of MSWord since MSWord is expensive and steadily being phased out of schools. Applicant schools will need to "make a copy" of the docs in order to edit. A "preserved" PDF copy of the Single School Application is HERE and the Hybrid Application is HERE.
SAMPLE APPLICATIONS
The coaches of previous winning single school applications have volunteered to have their writing serve as an example! Hybrid applications are evaluated purely on statistical data, whereas the single school applications are evaluated on the merits of argument AND data.
APPLICATION WINDOW IS MARCH 19 - 28, 2022!
THE HYBRID TEAM DEADLINE IS EXTENDED TO APRIL 5!
