HS Soccer Preseason Schedule
Dear TSA Parents, Students, Soccer Players and Phoenix Phans:
If you or your son or daughter plans on playing soccer this fall at TSA, please read this information in its entirety.
Soccer preseason starts on Thursday, August 16th.
I realize for some of you, this is still summer vacation and prior travel or other commitments may conflict with practices during this time. Please let me know in advance that you, the student-athlete, or your son or daughter DOES intend to play soccer this fall so we have a solid idea of the overall numbers. Without an accurate count of players planning to participate, we will not be able to determine if we are going to have JV teams. JV teams have been absolutely crucial to the success and development of our TSA soccer players and our programs affording everyone an opportunity to play, have fun, improve and compete.
Preseason is for ALL TSA HS students who are interested in playing soccer this fall, not just for those interested in playing on Varsity.
There will not be parent meetings once again this year as it has not been well attended in the past, even with the word mandatory attached to it. Instead, I will send all the necessary information (psychical forms, concussion protocol, game schedules, etc.) electronically via email.
