Shinguards

All players are required this year to wear shinguards that are NOCSAE approved. You will know they are NOCSAE approved because there will be a tag that has it printed on or it will be printed on the shinguard itself. Referees will check and enforce the rule. You will not play unless you have the approved shinguard. Al's Sporting Goods and Big 5 both have them. If you order them, I'd recommend Eurosport at Soccer.com. As you search the website, each shinguard you look at will show if it is approved or not. You will need them for the first game, August 11. Also, make sure that you get the appropriate size. Let coaches know if you have questions.

Logan High graduates playing college ball

We have three girls who graduated and are playing for great collegiate programs.
Morgan Olsen is playing for Idaho State, Kacee Voldness at Louisiana Tech and Cami Jensen at Brigham Young University. We'll keep an eye on these three great players and keep you posted on their seasons. There is a link to USU's schedule to the right. We are trying to arrange schedules to take the team to see a few games and support these talented players.

Fiji futbol

My wife and I spent a week in Fiji in July. I brought along a suitcase full of soccer balls to give kids there. Here are a few of the kids.

This is Ella and her brothers.

Smart kids, great smiles. This little girl needed a soccer ball.


Samuel and his grandmother Mariani invited us over for tea and bread. Wonderful family.




















































This is Samuel and his cousin. He said "I have to get my boots on to play futbol".

Pics from last season

2009 Soccer Tryouts

Hello everyone! There is a lot of information to get out to you about the upcoming season.

The tryout schedule is:
Monday, August 3- 9th graders 8:00-9:30 and 10-12 grades from 9:00-10:30
Tuesday, August 4- Everyone from 8:00-11:00

Friday, August 7 To be announced.

All players need to bring a ball, cleats, shin guards, water, running shoes every day.
Along with that, all athletes need to come to tryouts with a completed and signed parental disclosure form. This form can be found at http://www.uhsaa.org/info/images/forms/forma.pdf
The second page is what you need to print and have complete to tryout. Print all 4 pages. The 3rd and 4th pages are the physical pages for the Doctor to fill out. If you make the team, you will need to have a physical and be cleared to play by August 10. An inexpensive way to do this is to go to Alpine Orthopedics on August 3rd at 5:30. They schedule with LHS to have any athletes that want to come for physicals do it on that day.
