Middle School Tryouts:

Middle School Tryouts:
Official Tryouts began on Saturday, February 9th; evaluations will be made over the first two weeks of practice and placement/cuts will be announced on Monday February 25th; if your are trying out for two sports, you need to let me know your priority and the timing of the other sport's tryout

Practice Dates (bring cleats and tennis shoes to ALL practices):
Mondays and Wednesdays: 6:00pm to 8:00pm (on Hull-Dobbs Field, meet at Gearhardt Field)
Fridays: 3:45 to 5:30pm (at Gearhardt Field)

The above practice schedule will continue only through Spring Break, at which time the practice schedule will be integrated with the game schedules.  For scheduling tudors, we will hold to the above until Spring Break and will try and publish the remaining 6 weeks prior to Spring Break.

Middle School Program Structure:
Most likely we will have an A team and B team; this is somewhat uncertain depending on the number trying out in the spring; cuts are likely given the number of players trying out in the past, but again not certain until we know the turnout

Riptide Acquire Bailey

From the L.A. Riptide Website http://www.lariptide.com/news/?id=2580

January 28, 2008 -
CARSON, CA - The LA Riptide just added another weapon to its already powerful fleet of Navy players. Ben Bailey, a 2004 graduate, joins former Navy teammates Graham Gill and Chris Pieczonka, along with Riptide goalie Mickey Jarboe as members of the 2008 LA Riptide. Bailey, a 2004 graduate of Navy, was acquired in a trade that sent both Matt Ogelsby and Garrett Wilson to the San Francisco Dragons. Both Ogelsby and Wilson are residents of the Bay Area.

"We are very excited to add a player of Ben's ability and character to our team," said Riptide head coach John Tucker. "He is an excellent athlete with a great understanding of what is required to be successful in high level competition."

At Navy, Bailey scored 54 goals and added 10 assists. At the end of his sophomore year, he was named the team's Most Outstanding Offensive Player. As a senior, Bailey was named Third Team All- America and shared Navy's Lt. J.G. Donald MacLaughlin Award (outstanding midfielder ) with Riptide teammate Graham Gill.

Come see the 2007 Western Conference Champion L.A. Riptide for six action packed home games. Individual tickets to see the Riptide this summer at Home Depot Center are yet to be determined, but season tickets are now on sale.
