We will have practice tomorrow (Thurs) from 10- 12noon, then again from 5:30 - 7pm at John Jay.  Please arrive at the soccer complex at 9:45am to be bused over to John Jay.  You will be bused back to the complex at 12noon.  The shuttle will again pick you up at the complex at 5:15pm for the evening session.

Thank you to everyone who tried out for the team.  There was so much talent to choose from I firmly believe that we could field 2 competitive varsity soccer teams at the high school level.  If you didn't make the team, I'm sure you don't agree with my decision and I can completely understand that since the difference between many players that made the team and many players that didn't make the team are small, subtle differences.  I will be sending each player who tried out that didn't make it a complete player evaluation.  That player evaluation will be emailed to you in your school email account.  If you have any further questions or if there is anything I can do for you in the future, don't hesitate to email me at robert.seipp@wcsdny.org 

Again, I can't emphasize enough how difficult a decision it was this year to select this team.  We have so many deserving players who have worked hard and played soccer for years, but we only have so many uniforms and positions on the field.  I was the captain of my soccer team my senior year in high school back in 1986 and I can tell you that I'm not sure I would even make the high school soccer team if this was the pool of talent that existed back then. 

Thank you again to everyone who tried out for the team and gave me 100% of their effort.  I'm very sorry if you didn't make the team but please know that I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for everyone who did tryout.  You are all great kids, great competitors, and great soccer players.  I'm so sorry that I can't take all of you on the team.

If you are an underclassman and would like to tryout for the JV team, the remaining tryouts for the JV team are  Thursday from 8 - 10am and Friday from 8 - 10am.  All remaining JV tryouts are held at Van Wyck.

Thank you again for all of your efforts!

Sincerely,

Coach Seipp
