Physicals


Updated on 06/10/2022

I was up at the high school yesterday and found out that we have only 6 players who have turned their Signed PIAA Physical forms in. Remember you can NOT train without a Physical. If you have already turned it in to the Athletic Trainer you do not need to go up to the Training room on Monday morning.

The rest of you make sure it is completed and report to the Athletic Training room by 8am to get a card that the Athletic Trainer will give you so that  you are eligible to practice.

Looking forward to getting started.

Pre season Soccer


Updated on 06/10/2022 | Tom Dodds

Hello all,

I hope you have been having an excellent summer. As we come closer to the season I wanted to give you a few thoughts.

Hopefully you all have gotten your Physical examinations taken care of. Remember that you are NOT allowed to practice without one so if you have not gotten this completed get this done asap.

We start our first session on Monday, August 14th at 8:00 am. You will ALL need to go to the training room at this time at the high school so that they can verify that you have had your signed Physical forms completed and turned in so that you have permission to train. 

Bring a soccer ball, running shoes, soccer shoes, shin guards and a large amount of water. Hopefully you have been training and getting yourself in shape to prepare for our season. If you have been following my summer workout schedule than you will be ready to go. If not then, with a little over 2 weeks before we start, you must get out and get yourself in physical condition to perform. This will make the training sessions much more enjoyable for you and will give you the best opportunity to make the Varsity.

I am excited to begin and for us to have a great season!!

Get back to me with any questions.

Coach Dodds
