** Notes for Incoming Freshman Players and Parents... **

• Focus 90 Soccer Camp is a great opportunity to get started, Incoming Freshman get registration priority but remember to register early as it does sell out. For info, visit www.Focus90Soccer.com

• All Incoming Freshman interested in being considered for the team must attend tryout dates.

** Notes for Returning Players and Parents... **

Beginning with a mandatory meeting for all current BC soccer players on June 2nd at the school cafeteria after school. This is a mandatory meeting for all players wishing to be considered for the fall team.

All levels should follow the Summer Fitness plan to stay in peak physical shape. Captain's Practice days will be held on weekend and a weekday evenings at TBA and will run until sunset at Crusaders Stadium field.

Mandatory Fitness (Beep) Test for returning players will be held on June 14 as test to where their fitness level is, then re-tested on Saturday, August 21 to evaluate improvement.

Returning players, (fall Soph, Juniors and Seniors) will be able to participate in two summer tournaments; Bergen's Best held on the campus of Ramapo High School in late June and Toms River held at surrounding fields of the Ocean County shore town in mid-August. Players can also attend the Pocono Camp, a sleep away camp held on the campus of Marywood University in Scranton, PA in late July.

The summer will cap off with Tryouts, held on Sunday, August 22 for all levels, this is also the first practice. Players making the teams (Varsity, JV & Frosh) will begin training for pre-season scrimmages and prepare for the season.
