Seattle Public Schools and Eckstein offer three sport options: Co-ed Track, Girls Volleyball and Boys Soccer. Track is a no-cut sport whereas Soccer and Volleyball are cut sports. As with the Fall and Winter sports there will only be two teams, a JV and Varsity team for each sport. We will continue to have robust teams in order to develop our younger athletes.

Tryouts For Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball

• There will be two robust teams per program this year, a JV and Varsity team for each sport. This is based on an SPS policy change. We will not add any other teams.
• There will be cuts to create teams. Unfortunately, there is not a guaranteed spot on the team if your athlete played last year.
• The volleyball and soccer teams will have a mix of all grade levels. Exception, there will be no 8th graders placed on JV.
• All paperwork and physicals must have been completed and uploaded to FinalForms by March 13th at four o’clock to participate at tryouts on March 14th.
• If you need support for a physical contact Nyx our Social Worker: nclewis1@seattleschools.org
• There will be no late tryouts for soccer and volleyball.
• Head coaches have final decision of who makes the Eckstein team.

Boys Soccer:

Tryouts began on Thursday, March 14. We will also have tryouts on March 19, right after school from 4:00-5:30 on our field. Practice begins on the 21st. Parent pick-up may be a little later.

This season will be different from those in the past, as we will only have two teams, the varsity and one JV, which, unfortunately, means that there will be cuts.
Our regular practice time will be 4:00-5:30 on our field on Tuesday and Thursday each week.
Games will be held on Saturday mornings. Game schedule will be coming soon.
We look forward to seeing you – Go Eagles!

Track:

Track season begins with the first practice March 18 at 4:00pm on the track behind school. We start on time. Come prepared for ANY weather. Sunscreen, multiple layers, hats and gloves and a bottle of water. Our track coaches are so stoked about the season ahead!
Practices will be Monday/Wednesday after school for about 90mins. We don’t have a track meet schedule yet but will send it to registered families when we get it.
It looks like we’ll have another big team, so we need parent volunteers. If you won’t do it, nudge a friend who would be interested, and get approved to volunteer via these forms. It takes a couple of weeks sometimes, please start now.

Buckle up, we have plans for team functions and guest speakers, including professional runners! BTW: You can run track AND do non-SPS spring sports like baseball or lax. You CAN do track and be in the musical, etc. Do. Not. Miss. This. Season!
