Tryout season can be tough, especially with this year's age grouping change (from birth year to school year). We have a few open spots on our roster and are looking for some talented young ladies who want to join a fun, family-oriented team.
A little more about us:
-Coach Jenny played soccer all her life, through high school and into college where a knee injury ended her incredible career. She's coached both club and rec soccer teams, leading her teams to multiple championships (both indoor and outdoor) while still focusing on skill development and getting the girls ready for the next level (middle school/high school).
-Coach Owen (married to coach Jenny) has been around sports all his life and played soccer through grade school. His professional sports experience includes a six-year stint in the front office of a Minor League Baseball team, and he's been proud to coach both his daughters for the last 5-6 years. Both coaches are nationally certified in coaching soccer at multiple levels, concussion protocols, and child safety.
-We've been playing up (12 fifth graders played in a sixth-grade league) for the last two years. Despite this challenge, the Gators won our indoor session this winter and were finalists in the Turf Classic. Due to the age change, we are rebracketing ourselves to repeat the u12 age group this season, with more than half of our team having 20+ games of u12 experience already.
Questions? Reach out to coach Owen at [email protected]. Just a handful of spots remain open, but we'd love to give girls who are feeling the tryout strain an opportunity to continue on. Independence Soccer Club
