Program Information
Program Philosophy
- “The strength of the pack is the wolf. The strength of the wolf is the pack.”
- The most important play in soccer is the next play. Keep trying hard and give the best you’ve got.
- To “stretch” individuals beyond their comfort zone; I hope to have them realize that things are possible beyond what they believe and have experienced.
Teams
We field three levels of men’s soccer: varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen. The each team will have around 15-20 players.
Season
Men’s soccer is a winter sport with the season beginning in early November with tryouts and ending in mid-February with end of the season championship games.
Tryouts, Games, and Practices
Official tryouts will be held in early November. All students interested trying out should listen for preseason meeting information.
After the all three teams are selected, practices and game will normally be held Mondays – Friday after school (3:30pm – 5:30pm). Game dates and times will be announced once all leagues have met. Please Note: Once selected as a team member, players are expected to take part in all practices and games.
