Soccer Boosters Information
What is the HHS Soccer Boosters?
Banner advertising- If anyone has a business
contact that would be interested in advertising at
Tower Park via a fence banner please contact me

Concession stand project
THANK YOU to those parents who volunteer
their time to be members of the Soccer Boosters
organization.
Spring and June Conditioning
There will not be organized, optional conditioning.
The first time we will work with the girls is Wednesday,
July 15th.
Players are expected to come to try-outs IN SHAPE!
Also, if a player is prone to shin splints or other leg
ailments when running please be proactive about the
situation.
– New pair of quality running shoes / professional fitting
– Consult Tracy or physical therapist about
prevention/preparation exercises
We condition to prevent injuries not to create them.
Dead Period
The KHSAA mandates a “dead period.”
June 25th until July 9th.
This is a period of time designated by the
state when coaches may not have any
contact with their players.
This is an excellent time for family
vacations or camps.
Soccer Camps
Strongly encourage players to attend
soccer camps.
Utilize all the local colleges.
Great opportunity to start college search.
I have some brochures available tonight.
Vacations
Family vacations are a fun and important part of the
summer.
As with camps, it would be best to schedule vacations
before July 15th.
After July 15th, the absences will be considered
unexcused.
Try-outs are NOT to be missed. They fall at the same
time every year.
Once try-outs have been completed and teams have been
decided attendance is mandatory unless discussed with
the coaching staff.
The absence of a player impacts the entire team as we
practice and work to establish chemistry and cohesion,
especially at the varsity level.
Physical Forms
Every athlete MUST have a current physical on
file before they can try-out.
Physicals are good for a calendar year.
You will need to submit a copy of your
completed physical form to Tracy Piner
Please make sure that ALL information is
complete on the form, especially SSN, county of
birth, and signatures.
No current physical, no try-out!

Emergency Information Form
Blue Handout titled Athlete Emergency
Information Form.
Needs to be completely filled out and
mailed in with your copy of your physical.
Please make sure that everything is filled
out.
