There’s a new excitement in the air at Hillcrest High School as the Panther Girls soccer program opens its doors for another round of competitive tryouts. After capturing three straight District Titles, the Panthers are stepping onto the field with confidence—yet they’re far from satisfied. The team is hungry for more, and their next mission is clear: grow the program and make deeper playoff runs in UIL competition. For prospective players, tryouts are more than a skills assessment—they’re an opportunity to join a disciplined, energetic, and tightly bonded group that has already proven it can win. Coaches will be looking for technical ability, hustle, and soccer IQ, but they’re equally interested in players who show commitment, coachability, and a desire to build something bigger than themselves. The program hopes to expand its roster, develop athletes at all levels, and create a pipeline that sustains long-term success. Returning players know the expectations are high, and new athletes will quickly learn that the Panthers’ culture is built on effort, teamwork, and pride. Whether you’re a seasoned club player or someone eager to test your potential, this year’s tryouts offer a chance to help shape the next era of Hillcrest soccer—a chance to step into a legacy of champions and push it even further. Panther Pride. District Dominance. Playoff Ambition. This season, it all starts at tryouts.
