Dear All,

This is the final update. Yes, that means the season is near! 19 days!

Reminder: all school forms need to be turned in by March 12.

 

9^th Graders: either try out for Varsity/JV or begin with the 9^th Grade team (see schedule below). 9^th graders are in a “no-cut” situation; you play at the level best for you.

 

Core Values (see below)

The 1^st week’s Schedule (see below)

 

Tryout Focus

Field Players (regardless of position)—you have the ability to:

• ATTACK (the opponent, the ball, the goal)
• Win the ball all over the field (draw controls, ground balls, interceptions, etc.)
• Play 1v1 shut down defense all over the field

Goalies—technical skill (the mechanics) leading to the save

• ATTACK the ball

Head goes with the stick

 

Please keep asking your questions.

 

Potential Varsity players are on the bus a lot the first week.

Do you have what it takes to get on the bus?

 

Have a great day, Duke

 

Core Values

We choose to be an extraordinary group. We all agree to live these behaviors.

1. We compete, work hard, and seek to do something extraordinary everyday.

2. We see the opportunities and seize them.

3. We choose to be positive.
