The lady barons soccer girls have been practicing hard every day since the very first week of school. Although in the beginning of school, the girls were training hard by doing offseason fitness workouts after school, the girls are now working hard with having tryouts to decide which girls will make each of the teams.
“We are looking forward to a victory this year and for a rank in the CIF league,” commented Scott Goldman, the new varsity team coach. “This will be our year and my assistants and I will be working out hardest to make sure the girls are in shape before the season begins.”
Even though, the girls have just received their new coach, they could already feel the improvement in themselves to push harder. With more than 10 of the girls injured, the coaches are emphasizing the importance of taking care of pain and soreness from the long and hard workouts after school.
This year, the coaches were very pleased to find that many freshmen have decided to try out for the team this year. Over 30 freshmen came out to the field on Monday to take an opportunity to join the team this year. “If I find a freshman player that has the ability to play on the varsity team, I will move them onto the team immediately,” emphasized Coach Goldman.
This Wednesday, the teams will be decided and positions will be filled. Although more than 60 girls have tried out for all of the teams, only 20 are expected to be on each of the three teams. To all of the girls that have tried out, good luck!
Girls soccer is a winter season sport, and the first team game/scrimmage will be held on November 22, 2011 against Corona Del Mar High School for all levels.
