SANTA MONICA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER
LATEST UPDATE: 21 October 2021
Boys Soccer Interim Coaching Staff:
Santa Monica High School has completed the process of searching, interviewing and hiring 2 new coaches for the boy soccer program for the 2021-22 season. Both candidates are Santa Monica High School alumni and are excited to serve the school as interim coaches for the program. The final remaining coaches will be brought onto the staff by our new Head Coach Robert Kennedy. Coach Kennedy is a 1998 graduate of Santa Monica High School with over 10 years coaching experience in soccer. The second coach joining the staff this year is Chris Sandoval. Coach Sandoval returns to the staff this year and will take the helm of the Freshman. team. Coach Sandoval has been coaching soccer for the past 5 years and will bring great enthusiasm and technical detail to the boy’s program, while maintaining an inclusive team environment.
The JV and Varsity boys will begin meeting with Coach Kennedy next week at JAMS, daily from 3-5pm. During the week the athletes will be placed onto their respective teams for the season, including Varsity, JV and Freshman. Practices are mandatory every day, and attendance will be taken. Attendance and participation are key to the team success and the individual grade of each student. Starting Monday, October 25th, the Boys Freshman team will be meeting and practicing at Belmar field each day during 6th period for the entire season. Practice times will follow the current bell schedule for period 6. The JV and Varsity teams will continue to meet at JAMS daily from 3-5pm.
Coach Kennedy will be reaching out to all parents regarding, uniforms, donations, team placement and general parent questions during his first week with the team. Attached to this letter is the team schedules, parent code of conduct (must be signed and returned to coach), and here is the link to the CIF Season Preview that every parent should read and understand before entering the high school season. We anticipate this transition of a new coaching staff to be smooth, and our expectation is that students and parents will support the new staff as we enter the CIF soccer season. Coach Kennedy and Coach Sandoval will be reaching out to parents with contact information at the beginning of next week.
