At the beginning of the fall, spring, and winter seasons, the Academy introduces a new variety of sports.This year, AHN teams have been very successful since the varsity volley ball team made it to district semi-finals and varsity soccer made it to state semi-finals.With many gifted and accomplished athletes at AHN, this time can bring fierce competition between those trying out for the season’s team. Despite a girl’s love for the sport, most tryouts can sadly result in many hopeful girls being cut.  

These are the stages an Academy girl goes through when getting cut:

When you first see your name not on the roster

 

and falling into utter shock.

  Squading up with your friends who didn’t make it either

but still having to act happy for the ones that did.

When everyone at school the next day asks if you made the team

and you have to pretend you don’t care.

 When the feeling of rejection finally sinks in

but then you discover how much free time you will have now that you won’t have practice!

And you realize that everything will be ok!
