Agoura High School Girls Soccer enjoys a proud tradition of championship play, competitive spirit and the highest standards of good sportsmanship and personal integrity. It is certain that all girls recommended to the honor of participation in the program will well live up to that tradition, and will exemplify the best of American young womanhood.
   Our coaching philosophy may be summarized as follows: Soccer is a game and, as with all games, at the high school level, is supposed to be played for fun -- at least in part. However, as there is a consensus among players, coaches, parents and fans that it is MORE fun to win than to lose, our teams will do all that is possible, within the framework of fair play and safety, to win every game we play, by striving to play that level of individually skillful and tactically precise soccer that would meet the approval of even the most discriminating soccer player or fan. But it means little to merely say that we want to win, for every competitor wants to win. Success in soccer, or in any endeavor, is derived from a willingness to put forth the effort and make the sacrifices called for to PREPARE TO WIN. Thus, in all respects, each player must, and will, be fully prepared to win.
   With rigorous training sessions directed toward improving individual and team performance, no player should find the program an easy one. But, in the self-satisfaction of meeting challenging but realistic goals, each will be afforded the opportunity of having the most enjoyable and rewarding soccer experience of all their seasons in sport.
    The coaching staff welcomes each player and her family to the Agoura High School Girls Soccer program, and to the opportunity for each player to realize her unbounded potential, on and off the field.


MOST RECENT HEADLINES

THANKS, PARENTS. The coaches and players offer their thanks to all of the parents who contributed their time to Snack-Bar duties at the recent football game. This fund raiser will equally benefit all three teams. 

SCHEDULES ARE POSTED. Go to SCHEDULES & GAME SUMMARIES  -- VARSITY, JV or FROSH/SOPH

SCHEDULE CHANGE: MALIBU GAME IS OFF. I am sorry to report that Malibu High School has cancelled our Varsity and JV game scheduled for December 11. Please mark your calendars accordingly. 

ANNUAL TOURNAMENTS ANNOUNCED. In past years the JV and Frosh/Soph have participated in the Simi Valley Tournament in early December. It has just been announced that Simi Valley will not be holding a tournament this year. Therefore we are attempting to schedule participation in the Hart Tournament for all three AHS Girls Soccer Teams. The dates for JV and FS are December 19 and 21, and for Varsity, December 28, 29 and Finals only on December 30. Please schedule your holiday vacations around these dates. Thanks.

TEAM PHOTO DAY has been scheduled for November 20, 2009, starting at 3:00 p.m. Make sure you have nothing scheduled after school that day; rearrange dental, doctor and orthodontic appointments, etc. Don't miss it. Your High School team photos are the ones you keep! Ordering Envelopes will go out in November.

 FURTHER FROSH/SOPH TRYOUTS will be conducted on the following dates and times: October 1, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14 and 15, 3:30 to 5:30, on the lower soft ball field. Bring water, running shoes, the usual soccer gear and, if you have not yet turned in all necessary paperwork, do so and bring your stamped parental consent form to Coach Pratts at the tryout session.

 THANKS TO ALL THE PARENTS who attended our Parents Meeting. If any of your questions were not answered, please feel free to contact any of the coaches. Your financial contributions were many and they were generous, but the Head Coach has noticed that there is still a corner or two of our Trust Account which is not quite filled.  So, if there are any parents who were not in attendance or were present but had not brought their check books, our Soccer Program will be more than pleased to relieve you of a couple of ten spots and a sawbuck ($25.00) by way of contribution to our Program. A check made payable to "AGOURA GIRLS SOCCER", may be handed to any of the Coaches at any time. (Any contribution by the parent of any player who does not make one of our teams will be returned, no questions asked.) Thanks again to one and all. It is a wonderful group of players we have and we are anticipating a beneficial, successful and fun season.
