MS Girls Soccer

Soccer is offered to girls in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th-grades.

We are making an exciting programmatic change is with our soccer program.  We will continue to have our traditional Green team, which is most commonly consists of our older students (7th and 8th Grade).  However, for our younger players, we are re-imagining our program and concentrating on skill development and having fun.  As a result, our 5th-grade and most of our 6th-grade player will be taking part in our new small-sided soccer program.  This unique program is going to be headed by longtime soccer coach and Physical Education teacher Mike Hufstader.  We are excited to start this program, which we feel will give kids a greater opportunity to touch the ball, increase their skill level, and to play with and against their friends. Each grade level with play 2-3 days week with a mixture of drills, soccer-related games, and scrimmages.  

On occasion, there have been 6th-grade players who have demonstrated the emotional, physical, and skill readiness to play with the upper-level teams.  If your daughter would like to go through the evaluation process at the beginning of the season, We would ask that you reach out to Mike Fine (mfine@overlake.org) before school starts.  If your daughter demonstrates the readiness in all three areas, then she may be provided the opportunity to play with the Green team. Otherwise, she would play with our other players in the small-sided program.
