Athletes and families, 

I hope you are all having a relaxing summer, soaking up all this time with your family and friends.

This school year marks Patriot High School’s 10 Year Anniversary. In honor of this occasion, the Boys Soccer, Track/Cross Country, and Field Hockey Teams are sponsoring a 5K/1.1 mile fun-run. This event will take place the morning of 9/11, the big celebration weekend, and we have named the event the Patriot Heroes Fun Run to additionally honor the victims of 9/11.

The flyer for the fun-run can be found here and I have included the sign up link below.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via email.  The expectation is that the Boys Soccer team will work the event the morning of 9/11. Athletes, please share this link and flyer with as many friends/family members as possible-this will additionally serve as a fundraiser for our program. 

Thank you all and enjoy the final weeks of your summer!

Today is our PHS Team Picture Day! 1:55-2:10 -- Boys Soccer

• JV will be wearing their Blue Kit 

We will take photos in Commons 2  -- All students must enter through Door #26 and must have SWOL completed by noon on Monday 5/24.  Each student will be photographed individually and then the company will photoshop a team picture. 

Once photos are completed and photo shopped, a link will be shared for the students to purchase them online (usually 10-14 days after picture day).

The boys will need to bring soccer balls and arrive in tennis shoes, no slides, birkenstocks, flip flops, Uggs etc. 

Coach C

To the fantastic fans of the Patriot Boys Soccer program,

First and foremost, the coaching staff wants to thank you for your dedication in attendance this season, both home and away. We know the weather has not been favorable, your support has had a direct impact on the players and coaching staff, it is greatly appreciated.

Entering the second half of the season we would like to take the opportunity to highlight positive sportsmanship and verbal support from the stands. We understand the most recent contests have been intense and some calls not necessarily in our favor. How we react to these scenarios as coaches, players and fans can truly determine the outcome of a match. Please, when given the opportunity to be verbally negative or positive, choose positivity in support of your players and staff.

The PTHS soccer team has demonstrated extremely hard work, heart and passion until the final whistle of each match, let us focus collectively on supporting those factors as we move forward.

We look forward to continued growth and composure as a program and thank you greatly for your support and encouragement during this process.

Sincerely, the Coaching Staff

Hello parents and players. The coaches have drafted a calendar with all necessary dates, times of practices and games (to include bus departure times for both JV and V). If anything were to change moving forward, the coaching staff will post the announcement in the "News" section of the website. The updated calendar can be found in the "Team Files" section of the website, and is linked below. Thank you all,

Patriot fans,

Be reminded that while at games, ALL spectators must wear a mask and be socially distanced at all times.  This is not an option.  There are "X's" on the bleachers at Patriot to designate where you can sit that ensures we are adhering to the social distance guidelines.  Other schools should have similar markings at their fields.  Families may sit with each other.  

Keep in mind that the reason we can play and allow spectators is based off approved mitigation guidelines which states that spectators must be masked and socially distanced all times.  This includes spectators who have been vaccinated.  It would be a shame if our seasons get canceled or if we have to eliminate spectators due to not abiding by the guidelines above. This is true for both home and away events.  

Thank you for your cooperation.

PTHS Athletic Director

The PTHS Boys Soccer Coaching Staff

The coaching staff is excited for the pending spring soccer season which is set to officially begin on April 12th.

There may be some out of season dates offered prior to the start of the season at the end of March and beginning of April to help us navigate the new requirements. Please check this webpage often for updates.

To be eligible for soccer tryouts you must have a current physical and have met the concussion training requirements. Please be sure this paperwork is dropped off in the main office at Patriot High School prior to the start date to ensure you are eligible. 

We will update as more information becomes readily available. We hope you are all well. 

Dear Patriot Pioneers Boys Soccer family,

We are moving into a dead period due to winter sports tryouts, this combined with winter break will lead us to delay additionally attempts at out-of-season conditioning until after the New Year. 

Moving into December please prepare for a successful start to the new year by submitting all necessary physical and concussion information in addition to registering for a SWOL account (information to be found at the PDF linked below).

The coaching staff would like to thank the student-athletes who have successfully navigated this new system and for submitting necessary surveys on attempted training days, this does not go unnoticed. 

If you are having issues with the new system please contact Coach Cureton at curetosm@pwcs.edu.

Updated information will be posted after the first of the year. We look forward to training together in a few short weeks, until then, we wish you a safe and healthy holiday season.

The PHS Boys Soccer Coaching Staff

Due to lack of interest today's out of season conditioning session has been canceled. Stay tuned for future sessions and updates.

Thank you all,

Coach Cureton and Nichols

Please do not forget to do the SWOL Covid-19 online form by noon today as our test-run for next session. Thank you

Good afternoon Patriot Boys Soccer family,

Today's conditioning has been canceled due to lack of completed requirements. Moving forward it is necessary that your physical and concussion paperwork has been submitted to PTHS and you are required to have a SWOL account (details in link below) and a completed Covid-19 survey by NOON the day of training. Unfortunately, these requirements were not met and conditioning will be canceled for today, November 4th.

Tomorrow, I will be running a SWOL "test-run" for the necessary Covid-19 survey. Please create the necessary SWOL account and complete the Covid-19 survey by noon tomorrow, as you would on a normal training day, for this test-run. I recommend creating your SWOL account today as it does require trainer approval and may take time to become active. 

If you have additional questions please email me at curetosm@pwcs.edu 

Thank you all and I look forward to seeing you at our next training session on November 18th. 

Coach Cureton
