There are 2 periods for soccer - 1st (9th/JV) and 5th (JV/V). The first 2 weeks of school will be a tryout for those kids in the period. This is an opportunity for those players to see what LD Soccer is about and be exposed to the training/workouts we will use throughout the year. We can change schedules without loss of credit generally before the start of the 2nd or 3rd week of school. Turning in required forms, attitude, work ethic, and ability are things we look at the first 2 weeks of school.
After Thanksgiving Break, UIL allows us to practice after school. For any player that is in another sport (Football, Basketball, Baseball, XC) this is when they would come to try-outs. There will be 2 to 3 days of tryouts that week and the teams will be selected on or before that Wednesday/Thursday. Schedule changes may be made for the 2nd semester but this is a case by case decision based on credits/courses available.
We start scrimmages toward the end of the 1st semester and play about 2 games a week until around Spring Break. Varsity Round 1 Playoff's this season will start during our Spring Break - Thursday 3/18, Friday 3/19, or Saturday 3/20. Please plan accordingly if you are going out of town.
Please email Coach Martin - [email protected] - if you have any questions.
All prospective players must have a physical on file and be cleared to participate - NO EXCEPTIONS.
