The Hillcrest Panther Boys Soccer program is ready to take the field once again as tryouts open for the upcoming season. After another strong playoff appearance in 2025, the Panthers return with confidence, momentum, and a renewed commitment to elevating the program even further. Head Coach Flores enters the year with fresh energy—not just from last season’s success, but from the continued growth of his coaching staff. This year, the Panthers welcome Coach Mireles, who will join Coach Flores and Coach Shuping in assisting with the high school squad. Mireles, who also coaches at Franklin Middle School, brings valuable experience and a direct connection to younger athletes, strengthening Hillcrest’s developmental pipeline. Tryouts will emphasize technical skill, smart decision-making, and relentless effort. Coaches are looking for players who embody the Panthers’ trademark grit and discipline while also showing the creativity and composure needed to compete deep into the postseason. With returning talent, rising prospects from the middle school program, and an expanded coaching staff, Hillcrest Boys Soccer is poised to take another major step forward. For athletes hoping to wear Panther colors, this year’s tryouts are an opportunity to join a program rooted in pride, progress, and playoff ambition. Panther Soccer is on the rise—and the next chapter starts now! For questions about tryouts, please contact Coach Flores at wflores@dallasisd.org
