REVISED – Important Tryout Information For All Staples Soccer Candidates
For the first time ever, the first official day of soccer tryouts is a Thursday. August 27 is also the first day of school.
That’s meant some adjustment from the traditional tryout times.
All seniors, juniors and sophomores should report to Staples’ Loeffler Field at 4 p.m. on Thursday, August 27. The coaches will meet the candidates, and all players will be timed for two 840 runs. Then everyone heads to Wakeman for on-field tryouts that end at 7:15 p.m. The same schedule will be followed on Friday, August 28. On Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30, all seniors, juniors and sophomores have double sessions at Wakeman: 8-10 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.
REVISED INFORMATION FOR ALL FRESHMEN: Report to Wakeman A (grass field closest to Bedford Middle School) at 5 p.m. on Thursday, August 27. Tryouts run until 7 p.m. Tryouts continue on Friday, August 28, also 5-7 p.m. at Wakeman A. The freshmen are also scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30, at Wakeman from 12-2 p.m.
All candidates in all grades must have pre-registered online (http://staplesathletics.assn.la) and must have a current physical form cleared by the nurse. No one can try out without having done this. All candidates must wear shin guards, and bring water.
Check the calendar and home page of StaplesSoccer.com for up-to-date information.
