We had our last meeting before season starts today after school. Here is what was discussed:
CONDITIONING –
Started Monday October 29th
Mondays – 3:15-4:15pm
Strength and Speed with Coach Heida
Tuesdays- 6:30-7:00am
Weightroom with Coach Anderson
Wednesdays- 3:15-4:15pm
Strength and Speed with Coach Heida
Thursdays- 6:30-7:00am
Weightroom with Coach Anderson
There is an 8:15 mile requirement to be eligible to play for the Varsity team. Conditioning is NOT required, but HIGHLY recommended to get yourself into the best shape BEFORE season starts.
WHITE CARDS -
This is your ticket to tryout. ALL sections must be stamped before I can allow you to try out
1. Current physical on file with the nurse. MUST be on the OPS form, and any physical after May 1, 2018 is accepted.
2. Proof of insurance - either family or provided through OPS
3. Participation agreement
4. Parental/guardian agreement
5. Activity card - $35 (free if on free/reduced lunch plan)
6. Grades - received minimum of 4 credits last semester
7. Fines - all paid
8. Concussion form
Most of these forms can be found in the main office, Physical form is in the nurse's office.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20 will be SPRING SPORTS CHECKOUT for girls. This is an opportunity for your daughter to have the white card completed in one line, instead of 3-4 different offices. It will be immediately after school.
TRYOUTS -
Monday 2/25 Fitness
Tuesday 2/26 Technical
Wednesday 2/27 Tactical
We will hold tryouts from 3:15-5:15 each of the three days. We will be on the soccer field, unless the weather prohibits that and then we will be in the main gym. Times will be the same no matter the location.
Girls will be provided a tryout jersey, but should have shin guards for Tuesday and Wednesday . I told the girls to NOT go buy new cleats for tryouts, wait until you have made the team before doing that. If you don't have cleats yet, sneakers will be fine.
It is very important for your chances that you be at ALL THREE DAYS OF TRYOUTS. Missing one or more do not help. No one gets an extra day because they did not do their part to be prepared and do what is required to be at tryouts.
Full team practices will start immediately on Thursday for those selected.
Also please understand the expected commitment to a high school athletic team. We will practice EVERY day after school and SATURDAYS, especially early in the season. The only day we don't practice or play games is Sunday. This goes from February 28th though early May. This goes for SPRING BREAK as well. That is a very important week as we play our first games that Thursday and Saturday and are finalizing starting rosters and positions early that week.
Lastly, the best way to keep up to date with the program is to bookmark this site, follow us on twitter @burkegirlssoccr and join the Burke Girls Soccer class on Remind by texting "@burkegi" to 81010. Remind (an app that you can download, but don't have to in order to receive messages) allows teachers and coaches to send a text message without having everyone's cell phone numbers and provides a way for parents to be in the immediate loop as well as the players.

Champion of Central invite vs. Central (won 4-2)
Runner-up in Burke Invite vs. Mercy (lost 0-1 in a shootout)
Runner-up in Clash of the Classes Invite vs. Marian (lost 0-1)

Amazing group of girls that never gave up on each other all season. We're sending off 8 special seniors, 4 of whom will be playing in college. Thank you to ALL of my players and coaches for a special season!Couldn't have asked for a better group of girls! And they always had each other's backs. Thanks ladies! #OneTeamOneFight

A hard loss Wednesday night for our team. After battling since the first week of the season though injury after injury, illnesses and injury, oh and injury, we accomplished one of our season goals of making it to the District Championship game. After our Monday upset of #1 seeded Norfolk (who won the wild card today and made it to the State Tournament with the help of Millard South who upset Lincoln Southeast) we faced #7 Papillion LaVista for a chance to go to State. We played 50 minutes of scoreless soccer until they finally netted the lone goal and game winner, 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Our players pushed and pushed and just couldn't get dangerous shots on goal. Sophomore captain Holli Knudsen played through an extremely painful back injury to record 15 saves on the night, and help keep it close. Every player played their heart out and left it all on the field.
I have never been more proud of a team I have coached than this year's team. It would have been easy after that first week to just give up on the season, and really any time after as we added injury after injury, but these girls NEVER gave up. They battled and worked and fought in every game we played against every opponent. No team was better suited for being BETTER THAN THEIR RECORD. A special thanks to the seniors and everyone else who made the season something special.
