This Thursday, May 5, we will have a short meeting in Room 171 for our returning players only (2:50-3:10). We will discuss the schedule and important reminders about eligibility as we approach the end of the semester. Current Niwot students who are interested in fall soccer are also welcome to attend. (Incoming freshmen will not attend this meeting.)

Summer Voluntary Workouts: Summer workouts are voluntary, but recommended for student-athletes who plan on trying out for soccer. Please see the attached PDF for the schedule.

Tryouts: Tryouts are August 8, 9, 10. This is the week before school starts — we will already be into important practices and scrimmages before the first day of school. Please schedule sports physicals for this summer and be ready to register so that you are cleared to participate on time.

Eligibility: Players who fail two classes in the spring semester are not eligible for games until the first week of October. If you are in danger of failing classes and plan on playing soccer, we need to discuss your situation immediately.

Team App: If you are planning on participating over the summer, it is important to join the Team App and make sure your notifications are on. This is our method of updating the group, particularly when it comes to schedule changes and weather cancellations. There is a PDF attached to help you and your family join.

If you know families of incoming student-athletes, please feel free to share this information with them. I am looking forward to starting our preparation for the fall season!
