Hi all,

I hope everyone is having a restful and enjoyable summer. I am excited to start my new role as Athletic Director and would like to welcome you back to campus for another exciting year of Viking athletics. Our sports program has a long history of excellence that provides Paly student athletes with opportunities to compete at the highest level while also learning sportsmanship, honesty, dedication, and teamwork. We look forward to continuing that tradition this year.

The fall season tryouts will officially begin August 14, 2015. Student athletes need to have a physical examination by a licensed physician prior to participating in tryouts. Physicals are valid through the entire school year—which means that one physical during the summer will suffice for all three sports seasons. We use an online processing system (APPRYSE) for physicals and all physicals must be completed using the APPRYSE form. Please visit http://paly.net/athletics for more information and APPRYSE registration instructions. For information regarding tryout information please contact the coach directly. A list of fall coaches is provided below.

Paly is about to begin an exciting building program to replace our aging indoor sports’ facilities. Soon, construction crews will demolish our 85-year-old gym and begin an 18- month project to build a world-class athletic complex with two gyms, a new weight room, locker rooms, classrooms and training facilities. Every effort is being made to mitigate the disruption the construction may cause as we eagerly anticipate the completion of the new facilities. Specific information regarding each “displaced” team will be covered at the individual sport parent meetings.
