cleats, running shoes, weather appropriate gear, extra socks, sunscreen, soccer ball, nutritious
snack, and water. No jewelry will be permitted on the soccer field. If you suffer from asthma or
any other illness, disease, or injury that will hinder your performance, please have your parent,

athletes. I plan to start promptly at the times listed below.

Soccer Expectation Sheet
Family ALWAYS comes first, followed
by academics, then soccer.
2009 Skill and Fitness Standards
The standards are set to help the Wayland Boys’ Soccer
Coaching Staff evaluate prospective Varsity and Junior
Varsity Players. During Double Sessions, each athlete
will be evaluated by most of these standards as well as
by how well he knows the game, his work ethic, and his
attitude. Passing the standards DOES NOT guarantee a
spot on either team. It only puts players in a position to
qualify for one of the teams
