There will be a summer league this year which will include both a varsity division and a JV division. Coaches will assemble teams.

Games will be Monday and Wednesday evenings, and rosters will be about 12 players (play is 7 a side). If you email coach Putterman with your name, grade in the fall, (keepers, please identify yourselves) and that you are interested, then I WILL add you to the list. More info to follow.
There will be a local daycamp offered to help you prepare for tryouts this year. The camp will be held at Linganore HS from August 10th - August 14th in the evening (5:30pm-8:30pm). More information will follow in the coming weeks. Please plan to attend.

Tryout Registration
Please remember to register for the Fall 2009 season tryouts prior to August 14th by filling out a NEW form under the "Tryouts" tab at the top of the page. Registering early gives the coaching staff a head start on tryouts and eliminates the need for you to fill out the forms on arrival.
Beginning the 2008 fall soccer season, all players must wear shin guards that are approved by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE). If players are not wearing NOCSAE-approved shin guards, they will not be allowed to participate in games, practices, or tryouts. If you need to purchase NOCSAE-approved shin guards, ensure that they say "NOCSAE Approved."
In addition, when purchasing NOCSAE-approved shin guards, players must ensure they are properly sized. To make this simple, make sure the shin guard covers most of the shin. For info on this new rule and for sizing info click HERE
