Soccer Try Outs
It's almost soccer season!
If students are interested in trying out for soccer, please create a profile and complete athleticclearance.com. Then upload a sports physical to your profile. If you have played a previous sport at Vaca Pena this year, please switch your clearance to soccer. Coach Torricelli can help if you have questions, you will receive an email after she clears your student.
Soccer tryouts begin Monday, January 31. Coach Torricelli is the coach for both boys and girls. Girls and boys are expected to change in the locker rooms immediately after school. The locker rooms will close 10 minutes after the final school bell.
Necessary equipment: Close toed shoes and shin guards are required to try out. Cleats are preferred. If you do not have shin guards, you will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities at the tryout. If you do not have cleats, you can still participate. If you make the team, all players will need cleats. If you have a size 5 soccer ball, please bring it for the tryout. I anticipate high numbers and want to make sure we have a few extra soccer balls, if needed.
If your tryout is not immediately after school, you can do homework in the bleachers until your tryout or go to homework club. Otherwise, you need to go home and come back at your tryout time. We can't have students unsupervised on campus.
