One of the biggest concerns that may prevent students from joining is scheduling. Many students have outside responsibilities, including work and family obligations, which can make it difficult to participate in sports. However, the athletics department wants students to know that there is some flexibility.
Students are encouraged to communicate with the coach about their schedules and personal responsibilities. While players are expected to attend practices, the coaching staff understands that students may have other obligations and encourages them to discuss their situations.
Students interested in joining the team can find contact information for the athletics staff and coaches through the college’s athletics website, athletics.pccc.edu, by going to the Staff Directory. The website is a new resource that gives students another way to contact coaches directly.
The team is currently made up of seven players and is hoping to grow its roster to approximately ten players. The athletics department is therefore looking for about three or four additional students who are interested in playing.
Although official tryouts have already taken place, the team is offering open tryouts for students who are still interested. Students can contact the head coach or, if they are unable to reach the coach quickly, attend practice at the gym at 5:30 p.m. to speak with the coach and participate.
To be eligible, students must be enrolled full-time, meaning they must be taking at least 12 credits.
With recruitment continuing through the end of the month, there is still an opportunity for PCCC students to become part of the women’s basketball team. Students who are interested are encouraged to reach out to the athletics department or the head coach and take the opportunity to get involved.
