7th and 8th Grade Boys Soccer

With this sport having team size limits, tryouts are necessary in order to select the most enthusiastic student athletes to represent Timbercrest.

Both 7th and 8th Graders will come together to form only one team, so the competition will be fierce. Be sure to bring your A-game and work hard to show the coach why you should be on the team.

 

"Practice makes perfect."

Practice for 7th and 8th Grade Boys Soccer will take place every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during the beginning of Season 4.

Once games begin, practices will only occur on Tuesdays and Fridays for the duration of the season.

As with all sports and club activities, there will be no official practice on early release Wednesdays.

Practice begins at about 2:30 pm and will conclude by about 4:05 pm. Please arrange for transportation home.

It is expected that athletes be at all practices unless prior communication takes place. All athletes who have met the eight-practice requirement will be allowed to compete in matches.
 

What is a "Match"?

Just like with practice, members of the soccer team are expected to attend matches unless prior communication takes place.
 

Match Regulations

• Each match consists of two 30 minute halves, with a 5 minute halftime in between.
• A volunteer referee will manage all matches. Please treat them with respect and understand that they are doing the jobs of four people all by themselves.
   

Transportation

For matches played at Timbercrest students should remain at school for warmups and last minute strategy changes.

Buses will be provided to transport students to games played at other schools. Please be ready to board the buses by 3:15 pm!

At the conclusion of both home and away matches students will need to arrange for transportation home.
 

Practice Good Sportsmanship

Though it is a competition, it is important to practice good sportsmanship at all matches.

• Refrain from "trash talk".
• Express appreciation toward your competitors whether you are the host or visitor.
• Don't be a sore loser or a sore winner.
• Winning means nothing if you lose off of the field by being disrespectful or disruptive.

Check back once the season and games have begun for results!
