Welcome to the 2020 Season! Below is some important information to note as the coaches and players look to start pre-season practices September 14th.

The coaching staff for the 2020 season is shown below. Every one of the coaches played for the high school. It is a sign of their connection and commitment to the program that they are back leading our boys.

• Toure Weaver - Varsity head coach and overall program head coach
• Jon Chiles - Varsity assistant coach
• Oliver Murphy - Varsity assistant coach 
• Stephen Moore - Junior Varsity head coach

Volunteer opportunities: There are a number of ways parents can join in. Most require no more than an hour a week of activity. If you are interested in any of the roles below, reach out and let us know now.  Roles that have been filled are not shown. 

• Banquet coordinator (if we have one) - partially filled, looking for 1-2 additional volunteers
• Program book for banquet
• Banquet video
• Game photography - If there are parent volunteers who are skilled photographers and would be interested in doing this, please let us know ASAP.  
• Game video coordinator - If there are any parent volunteers who are skilled videographers and who would be interested in shooting game video for those who cannot attend the games, please let us know ASAP.  
• Future executive board members - The current board is either senior parents or alumni parents. We are looking for volunteers who can step into these roles next year and as many years into the future as possible.

How we raise money: Asking for money is not fun but it is necessary. Our big fundraisers are below. We will send out more info once the teams have been formed:

• Merchandise sales - COMPLETE

A productive Phase 1 training period wrapped up on August 28th. After a two week break, the coaches and players get together again for pre-season starting September 14th.

First game of the season is scheduled for October 1st versus MKA, followed by 10 more games against (always) strong Essex County schools. See the calendar for dates/opponents.

Let's go Mounties!

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. Funds raised for the LDF go towards various litigation, advocacy, and educational racial justice initiatives. 

If you want to support their efforts, donate via their 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.
