Sequoia Junior High
Soccer Tryout Information

Updated 2/16/2023 @ 7:30pm


From Coach Steve Service,

I would like to THANK all 25 players who tried out for the Junior High Team. Unfortunately, out of 25 players only 18 will be able to participate in the upcoming season. Because the team can contain 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade players, those who didn't make the team usually end up being the younger players (5th and 6th). I want those players to continue to work (and grow) so they can come back and compete next year. A lot can happen in a year.

The final team consists of 16 rostered "game" players and 2 alternate "practice" players.

The 2 alternates will fill in for games if one of the 16 isn't able to play. Alternates will receive a uniform and will be on the official roster. There is a VERY GOOD chance alternates will get game time as there are many things that can keep a player from being able to play (grades, sickness, out of town, etc.). Just as "game" players, the alternates will be expected to be at all practices and games.


Congratulations to the following players!

These are the numbers each player was given to track their progress. If your player doesn't remember their number, contact Coach Steve (info below)

What's Next?
Next Tuesday, February 21st will be our first practice for all 18 players. Our first game is scheduled for March 21st. That gives us ONE MONTH to prepare. Practices will be from 3:15 to 4:45pm Monday-Thursday (no Fridays).

PLEASE be prepared to "change out" and practice after school. This includes having the proper shoes, shin guard, shorts or athletic pants, and WATER. Make sure your player has their own water bottle and brings it to EVERY practice and game.

Before ANY PLAYER can play in a game, all the registration and medical requirements must be completed.
