Day 1 of Tryouts = Friday, Jan 31 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= Saturday, Feb 1 (10:30-12:30) at Dunwoody High School turf field. 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 24.
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 24, 2025!!!
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.
We will host sports physicals at Peachtree on Tuesday, December 10 (10:30-2:30). Physicals are needed to try out for any sport at Peachtree. If you plan to try out for soccer, you need to have a physical. The physicals are $30 (cash or cash app). The physicals can be used to try out for any sport for a full year.
To receive the physical at Peachtree on December 10th, please complete the following steps:
Sign up using the link: tinyurl.com/peachtreephysicals.
Once you have signed up, go the counseling office, Ms. Mancin room 640, or the front office to receive the paperwork you need to bring to your appointment.
With a parent, complete the health history form (from the paperwork) and the VUH consent form.
Bring the paperwork to the appointment with you (the VUH consent form SIGNED, health history form COMPLETED, the blank physical and the medical eligibility form for the doctor to complete).
All three will be returned to the student after the doctor has completed the physical to upload into DragonFly (or turn in to the Coach).
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
