Boys Soccer Tryouts – April 12, 2021
*Final* – Senior Night Update
All,
Due to a lot of things and coupled with COVID restrictions we need to make one final change to tomorrow’s schedule and revise some events. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this.
6:15-6:20: families will gather in the near field end zone for a coaches’ talk. This is a long tradition at YHS and we are excited to be able to honor it.
6:45: there will be an on field ceremony for parents/players that will include introductions and pictures.
Following the introductions and ceremony, families will remain on the field with their player for the National Anthem. Families will line up by their players’ helmets, which will be on the sideline spaced appropriately.
Please arrive in time to complete Covid screening and remember everyone must be masked at all times.
Following the last game of the season we will post all pictures that we have taken throughout the season for you and your player to download/print (free) in a Dropbox site, including those we take tomorrow.
Please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions.
Thank you and congratulations to you all!
Go Patriots!!!!

Varsity W-L Tickets – Important
Today at 3 pm we will be accepting names on the Google Doc, link below, for those interested in a 3rd ticket. For this home game vs W&L, parents of Varsity players will be receiving 2 tickets. In addition, if you are a varsity parent and know you have an extra ticket you may also post your extra ticket on this list as well. We are unsure of how many extras we may have, hence the reason for accepting names at this time. Thank you.
