Dear East Boys’ soccer candidate,
The East soccer season is rapidly approaching, and I am very excited about our upcoming season. Enjoy your summer tournaments, camps, and plan to arrive in August in your best physical condition.
Physical exams are required for all soccer candidates. Candidates should submit all forms from the physical packet by Monday August 12th. Please make sure everything is filled out and signed. See reverse side of this sheet for more information regarding physicals and deadlines. Physical forms can be downloaded from the Boyertown School District website at:
http://www.boyertownasd.org/Page/1284 or forms are available at each school.
The forms you need to submit are as follows:
1. 6 pages of PIAA form 3. Student responsibility sheet
2. Emergency form 4. Eligibility sheet
Reminder: No athlete may begin practice without a physical card signed and dated after June 1st, 2013 and the beginning of practice.
Be sure to get all of your paper work in before tryouts begin.
Tryouts will begin Monday August 26th, and continue on the first day of school. The tryouts on Monday August 26th will be held at East, from 3-5pm. Be sure to bring all of your equipment and your water with you. We will meet at East in the back parking lot at by the tennis courts before going up to the field. Tryouts will again be held continuing on the first day of school from 3:00-5:00pm.
Note: There will be no tryouts from Friday, August 30th to September 2nd. On Tuesday, September 3rd, tryouts will resume from 3:00-5:00pm and be held after school everyday thereafter unless notified otherwise.
In order to improve your chances of making a squad, I encourage all of you to begin a physical conditioning program this summer. Good conditioning activities are jogging, bicycling, and swimming, etc. These activities are most effective when done 15-30 minutes per day. Try choosing one activity each day to work on different muscle groups. All players should work with the soccer ball at least three to five times a week. The coaching staff hopes you have a restful and enjoyable summer, but come prepared to work.
Sincerely,
Sean D. Burks
East Soccer Coach
