1. Tryouts:
-Monday, August 21st – Wednesday, August 23rd(8:30-10:00 each day) at CHS (if needed, players will be asked to come out Thursday-Friday for additional tryouts). While this is the schedule for tryouts and selection of players for the program, determination of rosters for varsity, jv, and c teams may take longer.
Selection process will be conducted by the CHS Girls Soccer Staff based on the following criteria:
- Fitness:We can’t be at our best when players are injured, and peak conditioning helps to limit injuries. Conditioning will be a part of tryouts this fall.“You can NEVER be fit enough for this game!” Anson Dorrance

- Ability to use both feet effectively
- Ability to pass and receive
- Ability to combine
- Shooter VS Finisher
- Skill-Player’s ability to apply technique under pressure: Can the player hold the ball, execute passes, finish under pressure or do they panic and kick it away?
- Player’s ability to defend: Ability to defend in a 1v1 situation, as well as ability to defend within a formation. What is the player’s response to a loss of possession? Do they immediately work to win the ball back for their team?
- Player’s decisions: Do they make good decisions with and without the ball? What is a player’s soccer IQ.
- Speed: Physical speed, mental speed, and technical speed.
- Attitude & Effort: Ability to deal with setbacks and adversity, composure on and off the field, influence on teammates and the game and ability to be part of a team and fit in. Willingness to work hard.
- Grades: Student-athletes that can perform on the field as well as in the classroom.
- Any player that has below a 2.0 gpa and is not passing 5/6 classes at the time of tryouts (as based on 2nd semester from last year) will hinder their chance to be selected to join the Girls Soccer Program. A player that falls below these requirements starts the season ineligible to participate in WIAA sponsored contests.
***Being on a team a previous year does not guarantee one’s place within the program this season. Our goal is to compete for an SPSL TITLE and BE A STATE CONTENDER; therefore, we want student-athletes that will allow us to achieve these goals!

1. Athletic Packet will need to be submitted before tryouts.You can register for athletics and girls soccer at the following website:
2. Physical is up to date-they are good for 2 years
3. ASB Card
**If a student-athlete has not completed the above mentioned items, it will prevent them from trying out and impact their chance of being selected for the Girls’ Soccer Team. If you have any questions about athletic registration please contact Mrs. Nyegaard at CHS at OR 566-5710 ext. 2152.

-Training Sessions are usually Mondays: 2:30-4:15, Wednesdays: 2:30-4:15, Fridays: 3:30-5:00(calendar will be online) and we occasionally train on Saturday. We train on the stadium (turf) and Lower Colegate (grass).
-This season, all players (v, jv, c) will be required to the purchase (~$120) the following items:
-Warmup Jacket (Underarmour with Curtis Viks embroidered upper left chest)
-2 Training Shirts (Underarmour 1 short sleeve/1 long sleeve, screened front/back)
-2 Socks (Underarmour)
-There will be additional items for purchase on the Spirit Pack once the season starts
-We do train and play over Labor Day Weekend. If you are selected to be part of the Girls’ Soccer program you will be EXPECTED to be present during the time we train/play during Labor Day. An absence during Labor Day MAY affect your playing time when you return and may require the coaches to make player movements.
4. Summer Conditioning
-Summer Conditioning led by the coaches and captains will be held on the following dates at CHS on the field from 8:30-9:30
-Tuesday, August 8th
-Thursday, August 10th
-Tuesday, August 15th
-Thursday, August 17th
-While this is not required, it is strongly recommended that you attend. By coming into tryouts and the season as fit as possible, we can invest more of our time at training on technique and tactics and training will be more focused and cleaner. When an individual get tired, their legs go, their concentration lacks, and in turn, mistakes are committed. As stated above in the tryout section, we can’t be at our best when players are injured, and peak conditioning helps to limit injuries. You can NEVER be fit enough for this game! ~Anson Dorrance
"The vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching." ~Anson Dorrance
There is only one way to success, it is called hardwork
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard-work, and learning from failure
If you aren’t willing to work for it. Don’t complain about not having it.
Hard work spotlights the character of people. Some people turn up their sleeves. Some people turn up their noses. Some people don’t up at all.
