Washburn soccer is a program that has great interest and support.  The number of players who have an interest in being a Miller soccer player is really high.

Based on our tryout numbers some players may not be placed on a team. Our program can only sustain about 75-80 players (four teams of 18). We will probably have over 100 players try out. Some players will not be placed on a team due to those constraints.

Varsity – This is the top level team regardless of grade. Team is highly competitive and will be between 16-17 field players.

Junior Varsity – This team will be open to players in grade 11-12. This team will have up to 17 field players.

Academy A (Sophomore) – This team will be 8th-10th grade players. This will be our strongest group of younger players. The team will have 16-18 players.

Academy B (B squad) – This will be a team of 8th-10th graders. The team will have 16-18 players. 

Teams will be determined at the end of our tryout week (August 16-20). 

Placement of teams will not be absolute, if a player does well on a team our coaching staff communicates and we adjust player placement as the season progresses.

12th grade player – Must make Varsity or Junior Varsity

11th grade player – Must make Junior Varsity 

10th grade player – Must make Academy A or B

9th grade player – Must make Academy A or B

8th grade player – Must make Academy A

2021 Tryout week: August 16-20 – Bring water, ball, wear shin guards, bring both cleats and flats!

The week will be broken up into two player pools (Pool A and Pool B). Players will be notified which pool they will train with on the 1st day of tryouts. Pool A is reserved for returning players that are initially vying for a Varsity spot or who are new to the program and come with a club Coach’s recommendation of their Varsity level ability.

Tryout results will be posted on our www.washburnsoccer.com site on Saturday, August 21 at 3 p.m.

Players will be assessed on the following criteria (not in rank order):

  1. Technical ability- skill with the ball, mastery of skills in all aspects of the game
  2. Tactical ability- awareness of situation, understanding of the game
  3. Physical component- speed of play, effort, strength
  4. Mental- knowledge of game, reaction to adversity and positivity, communication with others
  5. Criteria testing on Day 1
  6. Coaching staff discretion on player placement.
