Dear Athletes and Parents,

School is fast approaching, and so is soccer season. As always, summer has flown by. I have stayed busy trying to get things done around the house. This has been the first year in a long time that we haven’t had one of the kids involved in some summer baseball/softball team. I did help coach a Babe Ruth team earlier in the summer which was fun. Lately, we have been getting Quincy ready for college. He will be attending West Virginia University studying in Sport Management. We also have been busy in the gardens trying once again to grow a giant pumpkin. They started out very well but they are struggling right now, hopefully, the rain that we are getting last night and today will help them.

Now, on to business. I want to welcome everyone to what I think will be a great soccer season. We hope to have enough kids to have 2 teams but I think it will be close, so stay tuned. I will be returning for my 32nd year in coaching soccer and the 30th as the varsity soccer coach at Bristol.

It will be necessary to hold soccer tryouts/practices before school begins. Please see schedule below. I highly encourage everyone to start running before you attend the first tryout. It will be in your best interest to be in the best condition possible. I will also hold an informational parent meeting on Wednesday, August 28 after practice to go over rules, expectations, and to answer any questions you may have.

Before anyone can practice, you must have had a physical within the last 2 years. All physicals must be checked cleared for sports, and we must have it on file here at school. If you are unsure if your physical is on record at school you may call Bonnie Sablinsky. All permission slips and paperwork are done online thru infosnap. You must have this completed before the first practice.

The following items are needed for soccer practices: Shorts, t-shirt, cleats, shin guards, mouth guard, and a water bottle. Also, you will be responsible for your own BLACK soccer socks as part of your uniform. If there are any questions, feel free to call me at home 504-2216.

Yours in Athletics
