• The official preseason start date is still Sept 13th. 
• The district has given us permission to start stage 1 of conditioning August 17th running until the 29th.  Details of groups and times need to be worked out but the time slots are probably from 8:00 am - 10:00 am or 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. These sessions are not mandatory but attending would be very beneficial. What I need from you immediately is that you complete the Covid Questionnaire which you MUST have filled out and turned in for your child to participate in the summer workouts starting August 17th. You can find the questionnaire below. Please get this back to me ASAP (by Thursday August 6th) so I can sort and send to the school and then organize the groups. Please send it to my email address at toureweaver@hotmail.com. I will respond to everyone confirming I received it. If I don't write back it means I did not receive.

• There is a possibility we will start earlier than August 17th. I'm discussing some options with some of the older players to see what is needed. As of right now, they have told me that program wide, people are working really hard and very dedicated. It put a smile on my face. I've seen and heard of so much initiative that the players are taking from incoming freshman to the rising seniors. It's so powerful to know that these guys are so dedicated and supportive of one another. Whether we start a bit earlier or not, I have full confidence in this group to handle business. I will be in touch midweek next week to let you know the plan. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions. 

The Montclair High School Boys Soccer Team Store is up and running through Eastbay.  Order gear for players, parents, and friends. Get cool looking gear while supporting the booster club in the process.

How to Order:

• Go to  https://eastbaystore.com/OFTS6423/Category/All or go to the Eastbay site and use the following code to access the team store: OFTS6423
• Delivery will be 3-4 weeks from order date.  
• The store will remain open through August 1st. We will be re-opening the store at the end of August.

Incoming freshmen and new players: we are compiling our boys' soccer parent email lists for the upcoming season. If you want to be added, please send an email to the booster club email: montclairhighboyssoccer@gmail.com. Include your player's name and any parent/caregiver email addresses where you wish to receive messages. We do not need player email addresses, players will get information directly from the coaching staff.

A group of our senior boys is conducting a fundraiser for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund (LDF). They have selected the LDF as a recipient of their fundraising efforts because it is a national organization with the strength and resources to make a meaningful impact in the daily struggle for racial justice.Their goal is to raise at least $2,000 for the LDF, money that will go towards various litigation, advocacy, and educational racial justice initiatives. 

In support of their fundraising request, the boys will train three days a week ‪starting the week of July 13th and continuing for the next four weeks. These sessions will include both voluntary individual and small group sessions as well as official team practices once approved by the Board of Ed as per the latest NJSIAA guidelines. We encourage friends, family members, our extended alumni family, and anyone else who supports their efforts to sponsor a player and donate money for each session the player attends.

If you want to join in:

• If you know a player participating in the fundraiser, reach out and indicate you want to sponsor them - hold them accountable for keeping track of the sessions they attend and notifying you then make your donation at the end of the four week period. We are suggesting $5/session attended as a starting point but feel free to contribute any amount you are comfortable with.
• If you want to skip this step and get straight to the donations, feel free to do so. The boys want the added responsibility of being accountable to sponsors as motivation to train but will still appreciate the contribution.

All donations will be collected through a GoFundMe fundraiser - see the link below. Money goes directly to the LDF (via PayPal who will extract a transaction fee on top of your donation) and is tax deductible.
