The University of Guam Triton Athletics Department will be holding a final round of tryouts next week to fill its team rosters for several varsity sports. Tryouts are open to all UOG students registered for classes this semester. 

 “We welcome student-athletes of all levels,” said UOG Athletics Director Doug Palmer. “Tryouts are a great way for students to learn more about the sport and gain some experience. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have any experience at all — as long as they are interested in the sport, have a good attitude, and are willing to learn.”  

Continuing UOG students must be taking at least six credits and have a 2.00 GPA. First-time freshmen must have a 2.50 GPA out of high school, and transfer students must have a 2.00 GPA from their previous school to play at UOG. 

Tryouts are set for:  

  • Men’s Soccer: 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24, at the UOG soccer field behind the Calvo Field House
  • Women’s Rugby: 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25, at the UOG rugby field behind the Calvo Field House  
  • Baseball: 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 26, at the George Washington High School baseball field
  • Men’s Basketball: 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 27, at the UOG Calvo Field House arena  
  • Women’s Basketball: 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 27, at the UOG Calvo Field House arena  

All tryouts will be approximately two hours. Students must provide proof of full vaccination prior to participating in tryouts. Booster shots are recommended, but not required.  

Student-athletes who make the team must submit an athletic physical prior to participating in team practices and outside competition.  

To submit COVID-19 documents and for more information on the tryouts, call Doug Palmer at (671) 735-2862 or email palmerd@triton.uog.edu.
