When is the season?

August through November. Boys Soccer is a Fall sport, with Tryouts typically starting the 2nd Monday of August. That is BEFORE school starts! Playoffs begin in late October for teams that qualify. However, the team will do preseason training activities during much of the rest of the year for interested players. 

What does the season look like?

In season, there are typically two games per week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with some exceptions). The team will train on the other three days of the week.

There are some Saturday morning sessions, especially during the first month of the season as the team builds fitness and learns tactics. 

Training sessions are usually 1 hour and 45 Minutes and are held after school at either the turf or grass fields.

Games are typically at 4:30 (JV) and 6:30 (Varsity). Both teams play at the same location. 

Our away games are mostly North of Denver. Busses usually return to LHS around 9:00 pm, depending on the distance.

Can I play another sport at LHS at the same time?

Yes, if the player and both coaches agree to an arrangement that works. 

Where are home games?

Mountain View High School. Senior Night games are usually held at Ray Patterson Stadium. 

Do I have to buy a uniform?

Jerseys and shorts are provided. You will have to buy two pairs of socks from the team.

Are preseason and offseason activities mandatory?

No, but they are highly encouraged. They are very valuable as skill and fitness-building activities, as well as a way to interact and bond with teammates before the season begins. Once the season begins, all team activities are mandatory unless otherwise stated. 

How should I prepare for Tryouts?

Focus on Foot skills, First Touch, Field Awareness (Scanning) and Fitness. Ask the coaching staff if you need help!

Do at least 20 minutes of technical work every day.

Do cardiovascular fitness work 5-6 days a week. Follow our Preseason Fitness Program. 

Are you a cut sport?

It depends. Participation in school athletics is very important and we want as many players as possible to join. Cutting players is the hardest part of any coach's job and we do not take it lightly. We have to balance allowing as many players as possible to participate with making sure those who do make the team get enough coaching and playing time to make it a beneficial and meaningful experience for them. We go into every season hoping not to cut anyone, and we understand sometimes rosters get too large and we have to make those tough decisions.
