Fall Soccer Schedule & Info

First day of practice/tryouts: August 25th

Tryouts

All players interested in playing soccer at BHS are required to participate in tryouts. Players will be selected for the program based on their performance at tryouts.

Tryouts will begin on Monday, August 25th. The schedule is as follows:

August 25th: 4:30 – 6:30 at the BHS Upper Field (next to baseball field)

August 26th: 4:30 – 6:30 at the BHS Upper Field (next to baseball field)

August 27th: 4:30 – 6:30 at the BHS Upper Field (next to baseball field)

If tryouts are to end early or extend to another day(s) any updates and additional information will be communicated through Final Forms.

If a player is unable (e.g., because of illness or injury) or unavailable (e.g., late Summer family vacation) for tryouts but would still like to tryout for the program, they should contact Coach Shulkin at jshulkin@nsd.org BEFORE the start of regular tryouts and notify him of your interest in trying out and reason for being unable to attend. Players that provide this notification will generally be offered a supplemental tryout opportunity when they are ready/able.

 

Eligibility

To participate in tryouts a player MUST be registered for BHS 2025-26 Fall Girls Soccer in Final Forms and be eligible (i.e., not red). Please take care of this early. If your status is yellow or grey you can participate in tryouts and training, but you must be green before you can play in a match. If you are red, you will not be able to tryout or participate in training until you are at least yellow or grey, no exceptions! So get those eligibility requirements taken care of early

 

Pre-Tryouts Informational Meeting

There will be a virtual meeting the week prior to tryouts on Wednesday, August 20th at 7:30 p.m. The meeting is not mandatory, but all new and returning players and parents are welcome to attend. At the meeting we’ll provide more information on tryouts, the program selection process and some high-level information about the upcoming Fall high school soccer season. The primary objective is for both players and parents to know what to expect the following week at tryouts and to be able to ask questions prior if you have any.

Meeting login information will be sent from Final Forms, so make sure you’re registered in order to receive the meeting info!

 

Program Selections

Player selections will be made and communicated at the conclusion of tryouts. How selections (and cuts) are communicated can somewhat depend on the number of student athletes trying out. We attempt to have personal (and discrete) conversations with every student athlete who is not selected, but that’s not always possible. Any student athletes or parents that have questions about player selection decisions are always welcome to contact me directly at jshulkin@nsd.org.

 

Training & Match Schedules

Regular training begins the day after tryouts are concluded. This will most likely be Thursday, Aug 28th. Regular training times and locations can change from week to week, as field availability and schedules for other sports that share our fields can vary. But initially, until matches begin, all teams will generally train every weekday as follows:

· JVC: 3:30 to 5:00

· JV: 4:00 to 6:00

· Varsity: 4:30 to 6:30

We will also have combined FASST (fitness, agility, strength, speed, technique) mandatory training sessions on most Saturdays (9:00 to 11:00 a.m.) for ALL players in the program. So once we start, we’ll go six days a week most weeks through the end of the season.

All teams will train regularly on the same upper field where tryouts are held. Any time/location changes will be communicated weekly through Final Forms.

Matches will begin the first week of September, so there is very little time to prepare between tryouts and our first matches. Arbiterlive.com or the Kingco Athletics site (https://www.kingcoathletics.com/sport/?sportid=11) are both typically reliable sources for match schedules.

 

Get Ready!

The entire coaching staff is excited to see you all and get to work on making it a great season for our student athletes and the BHS soccer program.

If you have any questions about any of the information or content on this page, please contact me at jshulkin@nsd.org. See you all soon.
