High school soccer tryouts began on Oct. 6th. Taylor didn't really think she could make Varsity as a sophomore, but wanted to get as much exposure as possible. She had a fantastic tryout on Monday and Tuesday of that week…scored several really nice goals, had a few great feeds that led to assists and overall played very well. She was so excited to make Varsity callbacks on Thursday! Unfortunately, she rolled her ankle on Tuesday night and struggled at the Thursday callback. On Monday morning, the Varsity team was posted and she didn't make the final cut.
JV tryouts started on the 13th, but Taylor had to sit them out because she suffered a slight concussion at her game on Sunday (poor kid couldn't catch a break this week). I emailed the coaches and asked if they could base her placement off of her tryout last week and they agreed. Taylor attended all 3 days of tryouts, but had to watch from the sideline. We were fairly confident she would make the JV squad based on last week's performance, but the waiting was still tough!
The teams were finally posted Sunday night. Our #64 made the JV squad!! She is so excited to be on this team and really looks forward to the season getting started.
They had their first team meeting after school today. Practice starts Nov. 3 so she will have a few weeks with double practice for high school and club until the club season ends Thanksgiving week. I'm just glad the stress of tryouts is over. Go Wolfpack!!
