Please read on below to see important information about the upcoming girls soccer 2024-25 season!
Girls Soccer Tryouts 2024-25 season: 11/12, 11/13, 11/14 and 11/15 if needed, 3:45-5:45 p.m. on the football field
All players trying out must wear proper soccer attire (shin guards are required) and a pumped up size 5 soccer ball.
To be able to try out, a player must be completely cleared through the Foothill Office with the entire athletic packet and physical submitted.
Girls Soccer Donations
The PUSD school district does not cover all of the costs for athletic programs. All that is covered by the district is the head coaching stipend; the remainder is all covered by donations. It is up to each program to pay its own costs via parent donations. This donation covers only the essential costs of coaching stipends and referee/field fees.
You can pay the donation in two ways:
Bring a check with you to hand in to coaches at practice or turn into the Foothill Office to Kathy Young. Checks must be made out to Foothill High School, noting 'Girls Soccer Donation' in the memo line.
Pay via credit card through the My School Central webstore. Navigate to girls soccer in winter activities and enter player information. You may choose to pay in installments.
If your company offers matching funds, this is a great way to maximize your donation!
The Foothill HS Girls Soccer is community-focused and dedicated to giving youth a chance to learn to play soccer while having fun, building skills, and making friends. We value good sportsmanship above all other qualities on the field. That doesn’t mean we don’t value assertive play and top effort!
Sportsmanship is defined as “fair and generous behavior or treatment of others, especially in sports.” It’s the idea that soccer will be enjoyed for its own sake, with focus on fairness, respect, and a sense of camaraderie among teammates and competitors. To be a good sport is to maintain a positive attitude whether you win or lose, and be kind toward all people on the field, and off.
We expect all FHS Girls Soccer players to be good sports at all times. This does not mean letting the other team win; it means playing hard and to the best of your ability, while playing fair and being nice.
As a FHS Girl Soccer player, you agree to…
Be a good sport, whether you win, lose, or tie. This means shaking hands with your opponents at the end of the team, not accusing others of cheating, and cheering on your teammates when you are on the sidelines. Never pout or stomp off when you lose.
Not blame others when you lose a point, or a game. It doesn’t matter why we lose a play; it’s more important to learn from it how to play better.
Listen to your coaches and game officials respectfully. Even if the referee makes a call you disagree with, you will respect his or her position of leadership and stand by the call. When your coach gives instructions, you will listen, follow along, give your best effort, and not complain, even when it’s hard!
Attend all team events, ready to play. If you can’t make it, make sure you let your coach know! Always wear cleats, shin guards, soccer socks over shin guards, and appropriate clothing, to practices and games.
Be the best example of a star soccer player you can be. When you wear your FHS jersey, you represent our School! Make us proud by being kind, smiling, friendly, and playing fairly.
Parent Code of Conduct
We value good sportsmanship above all other qualities. Sportsmanship is defined as “fair and generous behavior or treatment of others, especially in sports.” It’s the idea that soccer will be enjoyed for its own sake, with focus on fairness, respect, and a sense of camaraderie among teammates and competitors.
A growing body of research reveals that while kids want their parents to support their athletic endeavors, they prefer that they not add extra pressure for specific outcomes.
Since parents are children’s best teachers and role models, we expect FHS parents to exhibit the sportsmanship we want to teach our youth. As FHS parents, you agree to…
Listen to your child’s views about playing sports and provide unconditional love during success and failures.
Guide your player to understand that good performance means giving one’s best effort.
Encourage your player to accept responsibility for their decisions and actions, to have fun while playing soccer and to be kind to their teammates, coaches, officials, and opponents.
Refrain from yelling commands to your player, their teammates, their coaches, or game officials during games and practices. Instead, opt for general cheering to encourage the whole team to play well and together.
Avoid approaching coaches with criticism, requests, or feedback while the game is in play. Never make derogatory comments to or about other players, coaches, or pretty much anyone involved in youth soccer. Your children are watching and listening – and modeling!
Remember that youth high school soccer is first and foremost for enjoyment and skill-building.
Be on time for every practice and game, with your child prepared and ready to participate. Be responsive to coaches and respectful of the time and dedication they give to your child.
