Eligibility

You must be registered in Final Forms and eligible (i.e., not red) to participate in tryouts and the Fall season. Please take care of this early. There are no eligibility exceptions. 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, so get those eligibility requirements taken care of early

 

Tryouts

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

Tryouts Schedule:

Monday, August 26^th: 4:00 to 6:00 on the upper soccer field (next to the baseball field)

Tuesday, August 27^th: 4:00 to 6:00 on the upper soccer field (next to the baseball field)

Wednesday, August 28^th: TBD (if necessary)

Tryout dates, times and locations are subject to change. Any changes will be communicated on field to players and with a follow-up email including parents.

If a student athlete is interested in trying out, but will not be available during the regular tryout dates due to injury or being out of town, please contact me (jshulkin@nsd.org) BEFORE Aug 26^th to inquire about a supplemental tryout opportunity following regular tryouts. Supplemental tryouts are not guaranteed and are only possible for players that contact me prior to regular tryouts beginning.

 

Team Selections

Team selections will be made and communicated at the conclusion of tryouts. How team selections (and cuts) are communicated will depend on the number of student athletes trying out. We attempt to have personal (and discrete) conversations with every student athlete not selected for a team, 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 team training will begin the day after tryouts conclude. This will most likely be Wednesday or Thursday (Aug 28^th or 29^th). Regular training times and locations can change from week to week, as field availability and schedules for other sports that utilize our fields can vary. But initially, until matches begin, all teams will 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 on all teams. 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 by team coaches.

 

Matches will begin the first week of September. Arbiterlive.com will be the most reliable source for match schedules as we get closer to the season. Regular season Varsity and JV matches are generally on Tuesday and Thursday nights, with an occasional Fri/Sat match. JVC matches are generally on Mon and Wed evenings. All match schedules are subject to change as we get into season.

The entire coaching staff is excited to see you all and get to work on making it a great year for BHS soccer.
