Our soccer program has two different components: an interscholastic program (where players play against other schools) and an intramural program (where players play against other Overlake MS players). 

The interscholastic program is available to players in 5th-8th grade.  We expect to have one or possibly two teams this year, and we're playing both home and away games against other teams from the Cross Town Middle School League.  Teams are created using an evaluation process that occurs during the first three days of soccer practice.  Based on what is demonstrated during those three days, this evaluation process will place girls on the most appropriate team.  Factors that will be considered during those three days are the ability to listen and follow directions, demonstrated effort, overall soccer skill/knowledge, respect for other players, and a demonstrated ability to be a good teammate.  Should a player not be selected for a team, they are welcome and encouraged to play with our Intramural program.
This team's contact days are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Normal practice time is from 3:00 to 4:30.

For players who choose not to be part of the interscholastic teams, we offer a small-sided intramural option that meets 2-3 days per week on campus.  This group will meet from 3:00-4:30 and includes the introduction of skills, skill development, and small-sided games (3v3 or 4v4). These sessions are designed to be social, develop skills at the player's own pace, and play lots of soccer.  This program occurs on campus.  Contact days for the Intramural program are Tuesday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday, depending on the week.
