We field three (3) teams (Varsity/JV/FroshSoph) of players who demonstrate a positive attitude, dedication and commitment to their teammates, the coaches and the program. In addition, they must demonstrate game knowledge, sound tactical and technical soccer skills combined with physical strength and speed. Skills include first touch, reading the game, runs off the ball, vocal and physical communication, connecting, cutting, finishing, ability to work hard and overcome setbacks within a game as well as a season, sportsmanship, academic performance, good member in school and community, coachable, and overall character. Player and team selection is based on the performance in the above categories during the previous year, fall class and tryouts. There are no guarantees and all players must tryout.
