Hello,
Congrats to you and your son’s for their effort and time and earning a spot with the Lee’s Summit West Boys Soccer Program!!!

Tomorrow you will have the opportunity to purchase socks for the season. We also will have samples of spirit wear and ordering information available. We will also will have forms for you to join the Booster Club. It is important for you to join as your membership helps fund the end of season banquets, senior night activities, purchase items for the sports program and much more. The first $25 of the membership goes directly to the school, any amount exceeding that first $25 will go directly to your designated program (Boys Soccer). Your support helps to have a successful program.

The 2016 season starts TOMORROW, August 1st with tryouts. Players should plan on arriving early to check-in with the coaching staff. All players should bring cleats, running shoes, water, and shin guards. Any changes or updates to the schedule will be posted on Twitter (@lswbsoccer).

Here is a link to a schedule of the first few days of the pre-season: http://lswbsoccer.wix.com/titans#!blank/c1uep

Clash of the Titans, the REQUIRED Player/Parent Meeting, and Team Pictures info is included on the link. More information will be available later this week.

Week 1 of the season starts on Monday, August 1st with tryouts. Here is a link to a schedule of the first few days of the pre-season: http://lswbsoccer.wix.com/titans#!blank/c1uep

ALL participants will need to have a MSHSAA physical on file at LS West PRIOR TO AUGUST 1ST! Please plan on completing the physical AND turning in the form before August.

We will begin phase 2 of the HealtheAthlete study on June 13 at the LSN PAC at 7:00 for the Town Hall meeting. The town hall meeting is an informational meeting about the study for parents. Attendance is optional, but it is a great start for understanding the scope of the study as well as sign off on the parent agreement/release.

On Wednesday June 15th, we will be testing LSWHS athletes. Our soccer players are encouraged to arrive following conditioning between 7:50 AM and 8:45 AM on the LSWHS mezzanine.

Last year, the testing gathered baseline data only. THIS year, the study will take the results of testing and begin working with those athletes deemed to have significant weakness that would likely cause injury, to attempt to strengthen and reduce injury!! We are just getting to the exciting part of the study and our goal is to reduce injury by 10%.

All athletes must have the parent/guardian release signed before they will be allowed to test. This is a great opportunity to help our players with injury prevention. Please plan on attending.
