2020 PAC Soccer Tryouts
All boys and girls in grades 6th-12th are welcome to come tryout for the
2020 PAC Panthers Soccer Season.
We are expecting to have JV Boys, JV Girls, Varsity Boys,
and Varsity Girls teams this year.
The teams will play public, private, and other homeschool teams in SC. All teams will play a highly competitive schedule with games during the week
and the few tournaments scheduled for the weekends.
Tryout Dates: December 16, 17, 18 (It is best to make all dates)
Location: Red Bank Recreation Center
Address: 1159 Nazareth Rd, Lexington SC 29073
Time: 6:00-8:00
Please arrive early to check in, fill out forms, and put tryout number on before heading out to the field. *The first night will be the most crowded.
Teams will be posted December 19th and players will need to accept their positions by registering by December 21st so uniforms can be ordered.
Conditioning begins: January 6th
Please come dressed appropriately for the weather ready to go through an intense soccer training session. Wear soccer cleats, shin guards, and bring water.
*Sixth graders will only be considered if highly skilled and at the discretion of the coach. Most public high school soccer teams consist of players in 9th-11th grade.
Private schools usually have 7th-10th graders on the JV team.
For this reason, we use extreme caution when rostering 6th graders on a team.

-Forms needed:
• Birth Certificate- please provide a copy if you are new. I have all returning players on file
• Athletic Physical- I need proof that your player has had a physical. If your insurance only covers one once a year and you need to wait until Jan, Feb, or Mar. let me know and I will work with you. All players need a clean bill of health to play.
-Shin Guards- all shin guards need to be NOCSAE certified. Check your existing shin guards and make sure the tag can be seen, if you cannot verify that they are certified you will need to get new shin guards. You can purchase these online ex. Soccer.com, or locally at DICKS or Academy Sports.

Policy for Dealing with Issues
-if your player has an issue with another play, please try to deal with the player his/her parent first
-if it cannot be resolved between players, arrange a time to discuss with the coach.
-if the coach cannot handle the situation, he will ask me to step in.
-Please note the 24 hour policy-no one will discuss issues with the coaches following the game. If you feel you need to talk with him, wait 24 hours, then email him to arrange a time to discuss the issue. There will always be a third party present or the meeting will not take place.
-no parent should ever address a referee, opposing team’s coach, players, or fans. Refs can and will make bad calls, parents can and will be obnoxious, however, we have a higher standard and our job is to cheer and encourage our players. The coaches will coach.
