The 2024 tryouts will begin on Monday, August 12 and run through Wednesday, August 14. It may not take all 3 days to organize the team; changes to the schedule will be posted in the Band. Times and locations are scheduled for:
The Varsity/JV sessions should be attended by:
The B-/C-Squad sessions should be attended by all players in grades 8-10, unless they have been invited/are eligible to attend the Varsity/JV sessions. Please understand that, due to our numbers, 7th graders are not allowed to participate in Mayo Boys Soccer.
Players are expected to attend all of their appropriate sessions on each of the 3 days. If it is not possible for you to attend or participate, you must contact Coach Jennings before tryouts begin.
Finally, we plan to have a separate goalkeeper session on Monday at the Mayo tennis court fields from 6:30 - 7 PM. Anyone interested in playing as a keeper should plan to attend that session IN ADDITION to the other sessions described above. B-/C-Squad candidates should let the coaches know of their interest before their other session starts and we will make sure they are excused in time.
NOTE: The morning sessions are tentatively set for 9:30 to noon, so you should plan to be free for that entire block of time (i.e., arrange your work schedules to be free from 9:30 - noon). If our registration numbers are the same as last year, a large number of players will be eligible for the Varsity/JV tryout. In that case, this time slot will be split into 2 sessions: 1 from 9:30 - 11 AM and 1 from 10:30 - noon. You could be invited to participate in either session 1, session 2, or all of session 1 and part of session 2. Information on which session you should attend will be posted on the Band.
If the number of eligible players is smaller than expected, the morning session will run from 9:30 - 11 AM.
Players are expected to wear shin guards to all tryouts, practices, and games. Shin guards must be have the NOCSAE seal on them and be appropriately sized for your height.
If you are new to high school soccer but already have a pair of shin guards, make sure they have this seal on them. If they do not, you must buy a new pair.
If you are buying a new pair, make sure they have they have the NOCSAE seal on them.
