Hilliard Middle School Soccer
The three Hilliard Middle Schools are always reviewing the athletics we offer and evaluating how we can work to create a more consistent offering and experience for our student athletes. In this process we have identified that the participation in Boy’s and Girl’s Soccer each year fluctuates a great deal for all three middle schools. Because of this we will approach soccer in a manner that we hope allows us to insure we have an offering for all three middle school soccer athletes each Fall. To ensure this we will be offering one combined tryout for boys and a combined tryout for girls soccer. We will then evaluate the response and attendance at tryouts and look to grow to multiple teams if possible. Our goal is to have a coach in place for boys and girls soccer at all three middle schools so to support larger numbers if that were to be the case.
Also, please note, at the MS level it is very difficult for kids to play multiple sports, for example, football and soccer. MS football plays on Wed. & Thurs. and so does MS soccer. For the sake of helping us out to determine numbers, if you want to play soccer only, please go in and adjust your Final Forms to show that is the sport you want to play. If you are still unsure of which sport you would like to play, that is fine, but for the sake of trying to get this process squared away, we are asking you to pick a sport. Most MS teams practice after school so the kids would have to pick and choose what practice they will attend and we do not want to put the kids or the coaches in that situation of pulling the kids one way or the other.
