Calling all Middle School Wildcats

Varsity Coach Gregg Tavani will be conducting a training session for Duluth Middle School Boys this Friday, May 7, from 4 - 6 p.m. on the field behind Duluth Middle School. All players need to bring cleats, flats, and water. If the weather is bad, then the session will be moved into the gym. Look forward to seeing you there!

Club Soccer programs for Wildcat improvement

A message from Coaches Hayes and Tavani:

It is imperative that we challenge ourselves on the off-season in order to improve our soccer abilities, challenge ourselves and ensure the future success of our program. For that, Club or Select soccer is a great resource for improvement and soccer development. The benefits are nearly endless to being involved in the greatest sport in the world year round.

A few simple guidelines:
If you are already on an elite-level team and are satisfied with your team and playing development, by all means stay on that team; you are already doing what is needed.

If you are on an B-D (2-4) level team in your age group you need to AT LEAST try out for two to three higher level teams:
  1. A team in the same age at a higher level
  2. Or a team at the same level in an older age
Trying out at multiple clubs offers a player more opportunities for finding a team and playing level that is a good match.
Money should not be an issue. Every soccer club has scholarship opportunities to families that need financial help, though sacrifices of time and work may be asked for in return.

 

Listed below are the Clubs that are located in our area within a 30-minute drive to practice (on average).

Go to their websites to locate teams and levels that will be appropriate for you at each club so that you can visit several clubs during tryouts. If you are in need of any additional advice during tryouts, please contact Coach Hayes for the Women's Program and Coach Tavani for the Men's Program.
