Soccer is played all around the world, boys and girls. It's definitely an exciting sport that involves teamwork and sportsmanship. You can hang out with your friends and enjoy playing. In middle school, soccer is more of an aggressive game. It's very competitive, so it's definitely a cut sport. If you don't make it the first year, try and try again! You definitely don't want to miss this opportunity.

What you'll need:

	Physical on file (return to office)
	Shin guards
	Soccer shorts
	Soccer socks
	Goggles if you wear glasses

If you're already on the team you need to be...

	Passing all classes. (That means nothing lower than a C.)
	If you're getting a D, you sit out for periods of times at practices and games.
	If you're getting an F, you may NOT attend practices or games until you're grade is back up.
	The team won't accept disrespect towards coaches, teachers and other teammates. If so, you will be suspended from the team until further notice.

When and where.

Tryouts are usually held before spring break and the team is decided before spring break also.
The games are held either at Middle School South (home) or at different schools (away).
Busses will transport students to the schools and back (if needed), family and friends can attend any game.
The school will provide you with directions or simply click here.

Basic Rules:

If you have any questions on how the game of soccer is played, ask the current coach (Mr. Grimm) or click here. For soccer stretches, click here.

Fees:

The team usually buys tee-shirts or sweatshirts, anywhere from $25-30. Depending on the year, uniforms may be bought or used from previous years. At the beginning of the season, there is a fee of about $75-95 (not including sweatshirts or shirts). The fee for busses is included in the beginning season fee.

Games and Practices:

Games are usually at 4:00 on school days. Students should stay after school and do homework. If needed, a student may talk to the coach regarding homework issues or needing to go home before games. There are anywhere from 12-14 games and one tournament. The tournament is held at the end of the season. If there is not a game, there will be practices until 4:00 after school, unless notified otherwise. Friday practices are after school until 3:15, late busses are available. The announcements will notify if games or practices are canceled but otherwise, practices are held in the back of the school at the soccer field. ALL students must report to the coaches room before every game or practice.

Snacks and Drinks

It is always a good idea to eat before games. Students may decide to make a snack and drink list, so each student always has something to eat before each game. Snacks should consist of healthy foods and water or Gatorades. NO pop and NO candy allowed. Examples of food are granola bars, pop tarts, chex mix and goldfish. Drink examples are water and Gatorade.
