FARMINGTON GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER SUMMER AND TRYOUT INFO FOR GRADES 6-12.
HS Summer Soccer Practices: Starting June 7th and going until July 31st. Practices are at FHS practice fields on Mondays AND Wednesdays from 7:30 am-9:00 am.
JAQS (Speed and Strength and Conditioning Practice) start June 7th and are Monday-Thursday probably at 9:00 am right after practice at FHS. Sign up information will be sent out at FHS or I will send that info out once it is available.
Summer soccer practices and JAQS are optional but I am hopeful if players are in town that they are at practice and JAQS each day. If players and families are away on trips or club soccer tournaments it is perfectly acceptable to not be at practice. Being at summer practice and JAQS is a great way to grow, bond, and improve as a program.
There is a no contact/no soccer/no JAQS July 3-9th.
Our FHS girls soccer program is conducting a youth soccer camp where coaches and players will be putting on a youth girls soccer camp for grades K-8th during the week of July 19th-July 22nd. The camp is in the morning so we will not have practice this week but will have JAQS for those players not helping out with camp. Here is the link https://farmington.ce.eleyo.com/course/3221/2020-21-ce-catalog/tiger-girls-soccer-camps. I hope that link works. If not, it can be found on our Farmington Community Ed page. Please feel free to share that camp info with neighbors and friends. All of the money from that camp goes back to our FHS girls soccer program and our girls.
Our last day of that camp is July 22nd. I'm hoping to have a scrimmage that day after camp where all of the girls who practiced all summer will get to scrimmage against each other. That will kind of be our unofficial ending to our summer practices with me on this day.
Our last week of summer soccer is July 26th-July 30th but this is a week where most players are at club soccer tryouts. We probably won't have practice this week. This is the last week of JAQS. Try to attend JAQS this week if you are available.
Captain's Practices are August 2nd-August 13th. Dates and times for this are TBD. No practices with FHS girls soccer coaches these two weeks, practices are conducted by our captains. Captain's practices are always fun and important but these weeks are also good weeks for family vacations.
FHS Girls Soccer Start of HS Season Info
Tryouts start Monday August 16th. These are NOT good days to miss or be on vacation. Tryouts will be August 16-August 18th Mon-Wed at 9:00 am-11:00 am AND also 2-3:30. All girls/players will be practicing together on these 3 days. Yes, you need to be at practice all 3 of these days. Teams will be posted after the 2:00 practice on Wednesday August 18th. We will have either 3 HS teams (Varsity, JV, 9th grade) or 4 HS teams (Varsity, JV, B Squad, and 9th grade team) based on our numbers at tryouts. Our tryouts are open to all Farmington middle schoolers (grades 6-8) and FHS students.
Thursday August 19th will be individual team practices. Times TBD based on team availability and coach preference.
Friday August 20th Team Bonding Trip with all girls and coaches in the program. Trip is up in Park Rapids, MN where we will leave at 6 AM and return at 10:00 PM. This will be a fun trip where we are bonding, working on our leadership skills. communication, and going through challenge courses. Some of this will come at a cost per player and some of this will be paid for by our booster club. More details on this will come in a separate email. This trip is not set in stone but I feel confident we will make this happen.
Saturday August 21st will be varsity scrimmages at Hastings. Time is roughly 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
