FORMS - Physical forms can be found on the school website in the Athletic Dept. Office, or at the Administration building. I have also made copies for you. Each player must have a completed physical on file with the coaching staff or our athletic trainers before their first workout in the summer. All the other signatures/documents will be handled with the Online Documents / Electronic Signature process. The front page of the physical packet explains this process for parents and students as well as providing all the necessary links. Students will be able to get physicals done at Avon if they would like to. The first date will be Monday, May 4th at Avon High School. The second date will be Thursday, May 14th at Avon South Middle School. Athletes can obtain their sports physical at either location.
*Physicals MUST be dated after April 1, 2015 to be considered good for the 15-16 school year.
Spirit Wear and Practice Packs- Nike Spirit wear forms will be posted on the soccer website during the summer. Items will include dri fit shirts (long sleeve and short sleeve), quarter zips, t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, etc. Practice Pack info will come out during the summer as well. Cost will be between $150-$200. The players typically get three pairs of socks, two training shirts, a pregame dry fit shirt, and warm-up outfit. More info to come soon. We will also have car decals and yard signs that families can buy once tryouts are complete. These will be separate from the player packs. The athletic department also does a $50 athletic fee.
Summer activities- All events are OPTIONAL. Purpose of summer activities is to prepare players for mandatory tryouts on August 5th. We will focus on helping players improve technically, tactically, and physically to get ready for the upcoming season. Summer activities are also a great way to get to know your teammates, coaches, and get prepared for the high school soccer environment.
