Reminder: This Friday (3/4) is the last day to make sure all forms are complete and submitted to our Athletic Trainer. This includes a physical, impact test, and re-cert if needed.

Below are a few quick important dates coming up including tryouts week and a quick snapshot of the 2022 Middle School soccer season, please take a moment to reads this entire email.

Our Fields

MS-CGS meets and plays at the Wilson Middle School Soccer Fields. The fields are located on the solar panel side of Wilson Middle School.

The school transfer bus is used for student transportation to Wilson from Lamberton.

The Wilson girl’s locker room will be open to use by the soccer team throughout the season.

There will be plenty of time before each practice to be ready to play at 3:00pm.

Kickaround

Our spring kickaround is scheduled for Wednesday, March 9 from 3:00pm-4:30pm at the Wilson Middle School Soccer Fields.

The kickaround is a fun afternoon of soccer and a great way for us to meet other players and get a feel for a training session without the stress of a formal 'tryout'.

Please bring your soccer gear with you to school on the 9th.

Player pickup at the top of the hill on the solar panel side of the building at 4:30pm.

Tryouts

2022 MS Soccer Try-out will start on Monday, March 14and run through Friday, March 18

Beginning Monday, March 14 - all tryouts, practices, and matches are mandatory unless otherwise discussed with the coaching staff.

Middle School tryouts will focus on player conditioning, individual footwork, technique & creativity, passing & receiving, finishing (shooting), match presence (being a player on the field - understanding and demonstrating core principles of soccer), and attitude.

The 2022 Middle School CGS Varsity (First Team) and CGS JV (Reserve Team) will be finalized before the end of tryouts on Friday, March 18.

Player pickups will be on the field/solar panel side of Wilson Middle School.

We have just over 40 girls trying out for MS spring soccer this year. It’s important that all of the girls understand coming in that this will be a competitive tryout.

Players must come to the tryout ready to compete on our grass surface. Proper soccer cleats and shin guards are mandatory. Dress appropriately for the weather on the day. Always remember plenty of water.
