1. Go. If a team is holding open tryouts, then go. Open tryouts are like open houses for home buyers. Just come on in and check things out.

2. Have fun. This is ultimate after all. We all love this sport. Make friends. Have a blast.

3. Learn. New settings and new people bring opportunities for new discovery. Come with a student mentality and you'll soak up a ton.

4. Go hard. Good things happen when you give it your all -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. You'll get out what you put in. So pour yourself into the experience.
