5-8 Grade Thunderbolt Soccer
It is that time of year again! It’s time to sign up for fall Holy Cross soccer, even though there are still many wonderful summer days ahead. It is a terrific way for your child/children, as well as you, to begin the new school year cheering on a Holy Cross team!
We have one 5th/6th-grade coed team and one 7th/8th coed grade team.
The 7th/8th grade team plays on Monday and Wednesday evenings, with a possible random Friday night. The 5th/6th grade team plays on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with a possible random Friday night. Games begin at 5:15 and many are played on our home field. Practices start August 23 and discontinue once the season starts. The first game will be Wednesday, September 1. There is one preseason game in Sturgeon Bay on Monday, August. 30. Also, there is one season-ending tournament on Saturday, October 2.
The schedule that I know as of now:
Monday, August 23, practice from 4:30-5:30
Thursday, August 26, practice after school, so 2:50, until 4:15
Monday, August 30, game in Sturgeon Bay, at 5:30
Tuesday, August 31, practice after school, so 2:50, until 4:15
