Students must submit current concussion and physical forms before participating in tryouts. Athletes can verify their form status with Athletic Director John Ruth at [email protected]. All required documentation must be completed in advance to avoid missing any portion of the tryout process.

Attendance at all tryout sessions is mandatory for team selection. Previous team membership does not guarantee a roster spot for the upcoming season.

Optional skill and pickup sessions will be available throughout June and July for rising sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. These sessions are open to both boys and girls and will be held at Utz Field from 6-7:45 p.m.

The tentative schedule includes June sessions on the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 17th and 19th, with July sessions planned for the 7th, 15th and 17th. Students should check the PCMS website athletics section for any schedule updates.

For questions regarding the soccer program, contact Coach Lennox Charles at [email protected] or call 828-894-2215 ext. 706.
