2021-22 Team Tryout Information

Due to strict public health and medical requirements, incoming, returning and potential students athletes are required to complete all steps in the registration process to be eligible to tryout or train with Mustangs teams. Failure to compete all steps will render the student ineligible to tryout at that time.

• Dates, Times and Locations are subject to change.
• Check with the Coach or the Sport Office, Alumni Hall Room 11, or www.westernmustangs.ca for final details.
• Eligibility questions can be directed to the Coach or the Sport Office, mustangs@uwo.ca.
• All prospective & current athletes MUST contact the Coach before coming to tryouts. Due to COVID-19 all athletes must be pre-registered for tryouts.
If tryouts begin prior to school starts, not contacting the Coach will cause problems with confirming early arrival if you are in residence.
