All 7-12 grade boys in the John Marshall High School district are invited to attend the 2023 JM boys soccer team tryouts at Lincolnshire Park.
Each player is evaluated by 4 coaches for speed, conditioning, first touch, quickness of play, vision with/without the ball and overall possession skills. Coaches assign players to squads based on their current performance and participation in all parts of the tryout process, not grade level or past assignments. This means Varsity spots are not guaranteed to last year's Varsity players and, if a player misses any part of the tryouts, his placement could be affected.
Tryouts are 1x per day:
Monday, 8/14: Tryouts 4-7 pm
Tuesday, 8/15: Tryouts 4-7 pm
Wednesday, 8/16: Tryouts 4-7 pm
Thursday, 8/17*: Tryouts 4-7 pm
Friday, 8/18: Practice & Parent Meeting 5-7:30 PM
*Squad assignments announced on 8/17.
In addition to the evaluation criteria listed above, JV and Varsity players must also successfully complete a Yo-Yo test and 4-mile run. Tryouts are 2x per day:
Monday, 8/14: Tryouts 9-11 am & 4-7 pm
Tuesday, 8/15: Tryouts 9-11 am & 4-7 pm
