Welcome to the Santa Monica High School Soccer Program 2008-09


This season we have 150 applicants so all of the benches will be full. Serafin Rodriquez is the Head Coach.

This program runs with a lot of volunteer support. It is estimated to cost $250 per player. We ask that all of the families make their best effort to give a direct donation of as much as they can afford. All of the other sport programs at SAMO have a mandatory fee to participate. We hope with all of your help that we will be able to reach our goal of $250 per player without having to instate a mandatory fee. It is Serafin's philosophy that every student selected through try-outs who meets the academic requirements be given the
opportunity to represent their school. To send a check please address it to SAMOHI Soccer, include your students ID# in the memo. Send it to our treasurer:
Kim Eyler
3674 Moore Street
Los Angeles, CA 90066
 


Uniforms:


All players are being asked to pay for two pairs of socks away and home ($20) and Varsity boys and girls will need to buy shorts ($15). The remainder of the uniforms will be provided. Money can be turned in to their coach or sent to Kim Eyler . Checks should be made payable to Samohi Soccer please include the students ID# in the memo. Address to send check:
