Defending NCAA champ Aggies' photo shoot; Walk-on Tryouts Info
September 16, 2011 -- 5:58 p.m.
Recently, the Texas A&M Aggies held their photo shoot. Based on the criticism the Aggies received for its 2009 media guide being perceived as "too sexy" by some people, the 2011-2012 media guide may cause similar criticism this season.
Aggies to hold Walk-on Tryouts
The defending national champion Texas A&M women's basketball team will hold walk-on tryouts next month for students looking to compete for a spot on the roster.
Any student planning to try out must attend a mandatory meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. in the lobby of the Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball. Participants must be full-time Texas A&M students and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Tryouts are scheduled for Monday, Oct. 3 at 5 p.m. in the women's basketball practice gym.
In order to participate, students need to have proof of a sports physical that has been completed in the past six months, as well as results from a sickle cell blood test. Both tests can be performed at the University Health Center or by a family doctor. Students are required to bring both the completed physical form and sickle cell form to the walk-on try out meeting on Sept. 28.
For any questions regarding walk-on tryouts, please contact Maryann Baker at the Texas A&M women's basketball office at (979) 862-7763.
