Day 1 of Tryouts = Thursday, Jan 29 directly after school at the Peachtree Track. We will meet in the cafeteria, and we will walk down together. Pick up at 6:00 pm.
Day 2 of Tryouts= Friday, Jan 30 directly after school at the Peachtree Track. Only the girls invited back for a second look with come to day 2. Names of those invited will be posted Friday night.
*You must have a physical in order to try out. All physicals are due Jan 23.
Each day, athletes will be given a number. This number is their identity! First cut & second cut rosters will be made using the numbers, not names. At tryouts, coaches will score each athlete using a performance rubric.
Some criteria on the performance rubric may include:
Endurance running
Speed (with and without the ball)
Footwork
Shooting
Defense/tackling
Spacial awareness
"Soccer IQ"
Attitude (towards self, teammates, and coach)
Coachability
Engagement/Alertness
Girls tryouts typically bring in about 50 athletes, and the goal is to have a team of 20. Day 1 of tryouts is more about assessing the foundational skills. Expect to run about 2 laps around the track, demonstrate footwork/ball control/ passing, shoots on goal, defending and dribbling, and end with small sided scrimmages. Day 2 will include creating plays & running drills, speed dribbling and footwork, and an 11 v. 11 scrimmage.
Students/Parents will be required to submit all required forms BEFORE tryouts. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your physician in August for a physical each year. Schedule EARLY to ensure you get your paperwork in on time.
Physicals and forms are due January 23, 2026!!!
Forms can be submitted through email, on paper, or DragonFly. If you upload to DragonFly, please send me an email so that I know to go and approve your forms.
You are required to have insurance in order to try out for any school sport. If you do not have insurance, you can purchase school sport insurance here: https://www.kandkinsurance.com/sites/K12Voluntary/Pages/K12VolPrograms.aspx
