2024 Try-Outs
Dragon Fly
Students/Parents will be required to submit all required forms via DragonFly 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 5, 2024!!!
Physicals
If you would like to get a physical at Peachtree, click THIS LINK to sign up. Physicals will be on Nov 9, 2023, so please sign up BEFORE Nov 9.
When you sign up using the link, it will then email and text you a link to complete forms electronically. It is usually takes about 30 min to an hour to received the forms. Complete those BEFORE Nov 9.
The cost is $30, and the provider accepts credit card (paid online using the links sent to you), Cash App, or cash.
Insurance
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
Girls Try- Outs
2 day tryouts (the tryouts will be January 11-12, 2024)
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 60 athletes, and the goal is to have a team of 22. 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.
Boys Try- Outs
3 day tryouts (January 8-10, 2024)
Due to the size of tryouts last year, we will be extending the process to better assess players.
Day 1- 6th & 7th grade
Day 2- 8th & goalies
Day 3- All grades call back

***6th, 7th, and 8th graders ARE allowed to try out for soccer. We highly encourage all grade levels to tryout. Try outs are a great opportunity to gauge Peachtree's level of competitiveness, network with other athletes from Peachtree, witness soccer greatness, play at a highly competitive level, and, most importantly, see a try out format & play style for Peachtree soccer. Coaches remember faces and build connections that start at tryouts, not just during the season!!!
