Philosophy

The Tallmadge High School Girls Soccer Program has committed itself to provide student-athletes a positive, challenging and competitive athletic experience that emphasizes the principles of commitment, hard work, respect for self and others, leadership, discipline and sportsmanship. We will always strive for excellence and maintain a winning spirit!

Preparation

Soccer is a highly skilled sport that requires a great deal of decision making and problem solving.  The key to a successful high school program is starting players young (U08), playing year-round, getting top level coaching, playing against teams that are challenging and with teammates that bring out the best in you! We recommend that all players play soccer for fun, but also push themselves to play at the highest levels of the game (travel, premier and ODP).

Community Outreach

It is important that our High School girls program is connected to the youth. Young players need role models, mentors and coaches.  We hope that our girls will be involved with the Tallmadge United youth program as mentors, coaches, referees and even fans.  Giving back is an important part of taking our program forward!
