Dear Returning Soccer Families,
I hope you are enjoying this long weekend and the end of the school year. Here are some details about summer training, fundraising (snackbar) and answers to questions I often get asked. We will go over all of this again before the season begins, but please feel free to reach out with further questions.
The Program
-
Preseason training begins the first week of August, 2-3 days/week and goes until tryouts, the last week of October.
-
League games begin in December and end in February.
-
We practice over the winter break.
Fundraising
Fundraising is a big part of our program. We are in charge of the snack bar for the football games in the fall. Home games are 9/6, 9/13, 9/20, 10/11, 10/25, and 11/1. Please plan on your daughter or you helping during those games. This is a great way for your daughters to meet new friends and for you to meet new families. If you can help do the shopping for the snack bar, please let me know. Thank you for helping to make this successful.
Common Questions
What if my daughter wants to play a fall sport?
At MBHS many of our athletes are multi-sport athletes. If your daughter is playing a fall sport she should devote her time to that sport. I encourage her to come out to training and let me know that she is playing a fall sport. She should join preseason training in August before school begins unless it conflicts with fall sport training.
What if my daughter plays club soccer?
Great! If she can attend preseason practice at MBHS as well as work out with her club, wonderful. If not, making every attempt to join us will benefit her and the team.
What if she can’t make it to preseason practice, can she still play on the team?
If your daughter is not playing a fall sport, I highly encourage her to come to preseason training. Keeping her spot on the team will be more challenging if she doesn’t show up for preseason training. Athletes who work out in the preseason often have an advantage over others, but yes she can still try out for the team.
I will be in touch over the summer with exact dates and times. I look forward to seeing all of the girls again soon. Enjoy the summer!!
