There are few students with sport conflicts that really wanted to tryout. Kayla is trying to plan an alternate way to hold tryouts for these individuals but she needs to know prior to tryouts if she need to have an alternate plan for a student. 

Additional considerations: Auxiliary is a summer and fall commitment. (year round if competitive).
