Kicking Off - 2016

Lady Generals Soccer is about to be in full swing! Although the 2016 fall sports season doesn't officially kick-off until July 15, the Lady Generals Soccer team will have several open practice sessions to start preparing for the upcoming season. These practice sessions are open to any girl interested in playing soccer at TNHS. Additionally, these sessions are completely voluntary as players will not be penalized for missing an open practice session. However, participation and involvement is highly encouraged. Tryouts for the team will not begin until the week of July 18.

Open practice sessions will start Monday, June 13 and will occur from 9:00-11:00AM at Thomas Nelson High School. We will host open practice from June 13-16 (Monday-Thursday). Players should make sure they arrive by 8:50, meet at TNHS athletic field house, and bring their cleats, shin guards, and flats (indoors or tennis shoes). Click here for our official team calendar (Note: I would not print this calendar as all times and dates are subject to change. Simply click on the live link to view the most up-to-date calendar).

Players should be aware that when we start practice and tryouts officially on July 18 that they should ENTER our pre-season in-shape. Our first official practice will not be fun for those players who are not fit. I recommend that you start running today and work to increase your intensity up until July 18. To help you prepare for our pre-season fitness tests, I've created a Fitness Plan Program. The program details what running marks you should be hitting when July 18 rolls around, communicates your fitness levels from last season, and it describes a running program for you to follow. Click on this presentation to view to the fitness program. Contact Coach Martin if you have any questions.

Finally, please ensure you have an up-to-date physical on file with Coach Martin. Schedule your physical ASAP, have the doctor fill out this form, and bring it to practice upon completion. I will keep a copy for myself and then make a copy for you to keep.
