Soccer

[lead]Spartans soccer will develop young athletes in their skills as players to know and love the game of soccer. A Spartan soccer player will be taught Godly Christian values on which to build their character on and off the field. They will become great team players, encouraging and challenging each other to always improve.[/lead]

AGE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES

VARSITY: Boys or girls, ages 14 – 18; a player’s age is determined by his age on September 1st. For example, a player who is 13 on September 1st but turns 14 in October is considered an 8th grade student.

MIDDLE SCHOOL/FRESHMAN: Ages 12 – 14; we will be organizing a younger team that will play a 5 game schedule; vs. Homeschool opponents, it will be a MS team; vs. TAAPS (private), it could include 9th graders. The younger group will not play against a JV level team.

OUR TEAMS: VARSITY / MIDDLE SCHOOL

The varsity team will be composed of a mixture of Seniors thru Freshmen. We will compete against private schools, other homeschools, Charter schools, and public schools. The Spartan varsity will have a competitive nature unlike youth sports. There are no substitution rules or guarantee of playing time. Athletes will earn playing time based on skills, work ethic, ability, and performance.

The middle school team will be for the 7th and 8th grade players. Every athlete will get a chance to get in games and play. This is what we sign up to do.
