The Barlow Boys Soccer program is set to bring together past and present players for a much‑anticipated alumni match on August 6, 2026, at the school’s stadium. The game will feature the current roster facing off against alumni, creating a lively reunion on the field that promises nostalgia and fresh competition.
A Reunion on the Field
Coach Jack Carroll emphasizes that the match is more than a scrimmage; it is a chance for former players to reconnect, share memories, and showcase the talent that will shape the 2026 squad. Spectators are encouraged to bring donations for the program, adding a supportive financial boost for the team’s upcoming season.
After the final whistle, a community barbecue will be held on the stadium grounds, inviting families, friends, and neighbors to celebrate the sport and the school’s athletic spirit. The event aims to strengthen local ties while raising additional funds for equipment and travel costs.
Camp for the Next Generation
From August 3 through August 5, the Barlow Boys Youth Soccer Camp will open its doors to students in grades one through eight. Run by high school players and coaches, the camp focuses on fundamental skill development, teamwork, and inspiration from older peers who serve as role models on and off the field.
Registration fees are structured to encourage early sign‑ups: $60 if paid before July 15, $70 before August 1, and $80 after that date. The pricing reflects the program’s commitment to accessibility while covering the costs of instruction, equipment, and facilities.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the camp and alumni game, the team is actively seeking volunteer opportunities that allow players to give back to the community throughout the school year. Coach Carroll notes that weekend commitments during the academic term are likely, while the summer offers greater flexibility for service projects. This blend of competition, mentorship, and civic engagement positions Barlow’s soccer program as a cornerstone of local youth development.
