Tryouts for the 2025 high school soccer season will be held on August 11th, 12th and 13th. If needed, they may also be extended to also take place on August 14th. All players and parents need to be aware of everything below in order to be 100% ready to go!
Any players who want to participate in tryouts must:
#1) complete the athletic participation survey that will be sent to the inbox of all BHS students through Infinite Campus… you must select BOYS SOCCER on the list of potential sports/activities. Just FYI – we have been told that students will not have access to this survey until August.
AND…
#2) all athletes must have a current physical examination form on file. The physical exam form is available here (LINK)
Players will need to bring their soccer items (cleats, shin guards, and a soccer ball) to every session. For the first day, players also need to bring running shoes. We also ask that all players bring their own water every day.
The TENTATIVE schedule for our tryouts will be:
Monday, August 11th
All players will meet at the BHS Stadium at 7:30am. We will hold a meeting to welcome and check in all players, introduce our coaching staff, and then explain the tryout process and the schedule for the week. When those things are completed, players will then complete a 2-mile fitness run on the track. (Varsity players are required to complete the run in under 13 minutes.) All players need to bring running shoes so that they can run on the track. When the 2 mile run has been completed, players looking to make the varsity team will remain in the stadium.
Any players trying out for the JV1, JV2 and Freshman levels — your session will take place at FOD from 8:00-11:00am.
Any players trying out for Varsity, that session will be on the auxiliary turf from 8:00-11:00am.
Tuesday, August 12th
Any players trying out for the JV1, JV2 and Freshman levels — your session will take place at FOD from 8:00-11:00am.
Any players trying out for Varsity, that session will be on the auxiliary turf from 8:00-11:00am.
Wednesday, August 13th

Please be aware that even though we hope to announce teams before the boys return home on August 13th, we will be starting team practices on the 14th and will have practices six days per week (Monday-Saturday) throughout the entire season. Even though school does not begin until August 20th, we will have practices every day of the week except Sundays (even before school begins). PLAYERS NEED TO BE AT ALL OF OUR PRACTICES, SO PLEASE DO NOT SCHEDULE VACATIONS BETWEEN TRYOUTS AND WHEN SCHOOL BEGINS.
We hope this information helps everyone be fully aware and ready for tryouts. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Coach Steib at ssteib@barrington220.org
