Girls Soccer

All students who wish to participate in the program MUST be cleared through Aktivate prior to stepping onto the soccer pitch. Aktivate instructions can be found on the North Naples Middle School website under the “Activities” tab.

While one of our, and the school district’s stated objectives, is to “provide opportunities for as many students as possible to participate in an intramural setting,” the other part of the stated objective is to “pursue excellence in their sport through interscholastic competition.” To that end, our coaches will seek to evaluate and invite student athletes to join the team based on a combination of (1) physical athletic ability, (2) technical soccer skill, (3) tactical soccer knowledge, and (4) psycho-social development (e.g., courage, coachability, leadership, character, etc.). Not every student can be selected to join the team. Evaluations and selections of this nature present difficult challenges for our student athletes to process. However, it is through these challenges that our students are molded, shaped, and learn how to take on, and succeed, in difficult challenges.

After the team is selected, players will receive a SportsYou App code for parent and player season information. All athletes and parents must sign up for the SportsYou App to receive important team updates and notifications. This app will be our primary method of communication for announcements and schedule changes throughout the season.

Information for the 2026 season will be posted when available.

To meet the three stated objectives of the CCPS middle school athletics program, our team will train to compete and compete to win ("excellence in sports through competition"). HOWEVER, we will do this in a manner that allows each student athlete to contribute to the team, experience the joy of team sports, and build confidence ("maximize participation" and "promote enthusiasm"). These are not mutually exclusive objectives. To that end, each game will be managed by the coach to achieve the win, but every opportunity will be taken to allow as many players as possible to share in that win. Playing time is not guaranteed every or any game, but players will not be selected for this team just to sit on the bench for the season.

Academics are our top priority at North Naples Middle School. If a student has an F in any class, they will not be permitted to participate in games until their grades improve.

Similarly, students who receive Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) will not be allowed to participate in practices or any games. Students who receive In-School Suspension (ISS) will be required to sit out of practice and possibly games. Major disciplinary offenses will jeopardize an athlete’s placement on the team.
