Tryout Expectations:
RHMS boys soccer is a highly competitive team that will have cuts. On average, the roster is made up of 20-25 athletes ranging from 6th to 8th grade. All grades play on the same team and compete against players ranging from 11 years old to 15 years old. Soccer club affiliation does not affect the final roster at RHMS, however, most players attending tryouts play at high levels at a variety of local clubs, academies etc. On average we have 100+ RHMS athletes across the three grades trying out for 20+ positions. It is not required, but players who make the team are typically skilled and dedicated soccer players who compete at the high levels at the club, academy, select etc. level. We encourage all players to join a local club or team and attempt other sports at RHMS during the other seasons to help increase their strength, speed, and soccer skills.

Good academic standing (not eligible to participate if failing two or more classes)
