When does the season begin?
The season begins in the fall of one year and continues into the spring of the following year. Children remain on the same team for fall and spring play.
When are practices and games?
Practices for the fall begin in mid-August and are held twice a week. Games in the fall begin the weekend after Labor Day and continue through the end of October. Practices for the spring begin the end of March (depending on the weather) and games begin around April 1st and finish up the weekend prior to Memorial Day Weekend.
When will we know who the coach is and where and when practices will be?
AROUND August 1st you should receive a call from your child’s coach with the field, days, and times that your child will practice. What does the registration fee include? Your registration fee covers the cost of a uniform (shorts, jersey, and socks), registration fees paid to the Eastern PA Youth Soccer Association, referee fees, and field up-keep. The registration fee includes fall and spring play.
What if my child does not make the TRAVEL TEAM?
Registrants that try out for TRAVEL but are not chosen for a TRAVEL TEAM are automatically placed on a Recreational Team.
What if I would like my child to play on a certain team?
Requests, for a player to be placed on a certain team or with a certain player, can be noted right on the registration form. The age Group Coordinators will TRY to honor all requests when they are putting teams together.
What team will my son/daughter be placed on?
The Age Group Coordinators use information from the player registration forms to help in dividing up teams. The township, school, and housing development information help to aid in the forming of the teams. The Age Group Coordinators do their best to keep children from the same areas together and as close to home as possible.
Other than the uniform provided by HMMS, is there any other equipment my child will need?
Shin guards are an absolute must! Soccer cleats are optional but most children choose to wear soccer cleats instead of sneakers. The soccer equipment is available at sporting goods stores such as Dick’s, Dunhams, Wal-Mart, K-Mart or any soccer specialty store.
