Pope High School Soccer Off-season Responsibilities 2008-2009
In order to be our best we need to create more opportunities for our players to improve. Here are the opportunities our players should all take advantage of between now and the spring soccer season.
Summer Camp: July 8-12 at St. Andrews Presbyterian College in NC. Camp forms available through Coach Groeneveld:
or call 404.376.2685. Players who have a conflict should be sure to attend another college or professionally conducted soccer camp.
Club Tryouts: All of our players should attend club tryouts and play fall club soccer. It is important for all of our players to get on the best team possible and get good coaching in the fall.

YMCA

Please contact Coach Groeneveld if you need help finding a club team.
Winter Indoor: We will play indoor soccer again next winter either at the YMCA or Wolf’s Indoor to continue team building and keep from getting rusty in skills or fitness. This bridges the gap between club season and high school season.
Weight Training: Players are strongly encouraged to take a weight training class if their schedule allows.
Academics and Physical Form: Pope soccer players must make their best effort in school. These efforts include grades and behavior. Players trying out should also have a physical on file that is dated after April 2008 (May 2008 or later). Click here for the 2008-2009 Cobb County Physical Form.
Coach Green and Coach Groeneveld will keep track of all players to see who completes these offseason responsibilities.
