COLLEGE STATION, Texas -The Texas A&M women's basketball team will hold walk-on tryouts next week for students looking to compete for a spot on the roster.

Any student planning to try out must attend a mandatory meeting on Monday, Sept. 17 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 Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. in the women's basketball practice gym.
