Summer 2025 

Dear high school soccer player, 

Minuteman varsity girls’ soccer begins the 2025 season on Monday, August 18. 

All athletes must submit a copy of a recent physical exam (within one year) to participate in high school sports. All athletes must also submit a required permission form signed by a parent or guardian. 

Complete the online registration and concussion test right away. 

Expect to scrimmage every day so wear appropriate soccer footwear and shin guards. Be sure to hydrate before, during, and after practice. Plan to attend all pre-season practices Monday through Friday each day before school begins on Tuesday, August 26. Pre-season practice times are likely to be in the morning due to weather conditions. 

Dedication leads to success. Please begin training before the first day of practice. Competitive varsity soccer requires physically fit players. Set a goal to run ten miles per week (five two-mile runs, ten one-mile runs, twenty-half-mile runs – whatever you are able to do at your own pace) and play with a soccer ball for 90 minutes or more each week (meet with your teammates and other friends to work on dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting). 

Our team plays its first game on Tuesday, September 2. Be ready. 

All Minuteman students are welcome to be a member of our team. Our goal is to have a winning season and to qualify for the Division 4 state tournament in November. Players earn playing time by attending all practices and games on time (or earlier), by demonstrating a desire to improve as an individual, by improving physical fitness, by showing respect for themselves, their teammates, the game of soccer, and all involved in the program. 

There are very few reasons to miss team events – even injured players should be at practices and games. Work and co-op are NOT reasons to miss practices or games. Always be on the practice field ready to play and compete for game day playing time. 

Please contact me if you have any questions.
