Start of Summer Updates

20 May by Stephen Dimit

Good evening, boys soccer players and families! I am excited to head into a summer full of soccer, and this update will give you a lot of important dates. You can see the 2026 calendar on our schedule on the website/app. It’s obviously still early, so changes are possible, and the C-Team schedule is not built yet (that will be in August).

We are returning our full coaching staff this year, including Brett (JV), Jack (C), and myself (V). We’re all looking forward to seeing you back out on the field. This season is one where there is a lot of opportunity. We are expecting a lot of new players on each team, and we are looking for those players who are preparing to level up their play. Take advantage of the opportunities to get better this summer!

SUMMER KICKAROUNDS
Our summer schedule has a lot of opportunities to come out and play with the team prior to tryouts in August. I encourage any Niwot student athlete who is interested in playing the fall to come to summer kickarounds. They begin June 19 with our first 3v3 kickaround on the turf field. Please see the calendar for all of the dates and times.

SPEED AND STRENGTH TRAINING
We will have one morning session (beginning June 4) and one evening session (beginning June 23) available to you each week. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this training to prepare for the upcoming season. This is an area a lot of athletes skip, but consistent athletic development can be a big difference-maker in your success this season.
