Off Season
Conditioning and Workouts - will be emailed to players after they
have submitted their
information on the above form, are registered with the University,
and are confirmed they are trying out with the coaching staff.
Players are expected to diligently follow the program which will
consist of several training blocks includingaerobic fitness,
anaerobic fitness, agility, strength, and ball control training.
There is also a section on nutrition. Players are highly encouraged
to play on summer teams and/or play other sports and stay active.
Do not underestimate the importance of off season conditioning! A
large part of how you will be evaluated at tryouts is tied to and
has a direct connection with the off season workouts.
Medical Clearance(s) - New and incoming players will need a physical and must file medical clearance forms with the Bridgewater State Athletic Department prior to participating in any activities. Please take care of this early, physical exams can often take months to schedule. Forms must be turned into the BSU Athletic Department, please don’t send them to the coaching staff.

It’s important that you add the words “Women’s Soccer”, otherwise there is a possibility that the checks will be deposited into the wrong account. Each player attending tryoutswill receive two 100% cotton T-shirts (one red, one white) with a 3 digit number on it which will be yours to keep. You will be required to wear those shirts during tryouts. All
Shoes - If you plan on purchasing new
soccer shoes/cleats before next season, it would be a good idea to buy them early in
the summer (June?) and not at the start of preseason camp. One way
to break shoes in is to wear them for 15-30 minutes at a time
during summer workouts or games. That way, you avoid getting
blisters and sore feet during the critical time of tryouts. There
are a few days where we will be running up to three sessions per
day in the pre-season, so do your feet a favor and break in your
shoes prior to arriving at camp.
Other Info - Bridgewater State Women’s Soccer uses a unique website to communicate with team members and incoming student athletes. The address is
It’s a good idea to register on our TeamPages website, so that you can be kept up to date with information regarding start dates, room assignments, off season conditioning, training schedules and more.

You will need to create a user ID and password before your request to join will be processed and sent on to the coaching staff for approval and admittance onto the site. Current players, please make note of the above address change for the TeamPages site, as it is now “bsu” instead of “bsc”. If any incoming candidate has trouble accessing the site, please email Coach Coppola at andrew.coppola@bridgew.edu for help.
