Hamburg Soccer Club Outdoor House Program 2010 Team Assignments

Equipment: Uniforms are provided. Children must have sneakers (or optionally soccer cleats for outdoors), shin guards, water bottle, and #3 soccer ball (U6), #4 soccer ball (U8 and U10) and #5 soccer ball (U13 and U16).

Games: Games/practices during the summer session are held on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. All games/practices are 1 hour in length

Practices: There is generally two practice/game session per week for our outdoor programs.

Parental Commitment: HSC is your club. The time commitment varies, but every family MUST contribute some time to the organization. Also, all House League parents are expected to take a turn brining a post-game snack and drink (outdoor program only, no snacks allowed at indoor games).

We have been receiving numerous phone calls about not honoring requests. We know it may be difficult to understand and we do appreciate that everyone has special circumstances, but it was next to impossible to honor these requests. The only requests we honored were for siblings. 

To put the number of requests into perspective, over 600 requests were made. Most of those had multiple requests.  

For example:

Mikes mother would write “I would like my child to be with Tommy and Suzy”, Then Tommy’s mother will write, “I want Tommy with Jack and Jill”. Then Suzy’s mother writes, “I want Suzy with Kim and Kathy”.  

If rides are an issue, you can still carpool since the children will be playing on the same nights as the other children they requested to be with.  

We apologize for having to take this stance, but up until 4 years ago, we did not take any requests at all. The first year we had a few, but the last 2 have gotten out of control.

Why Small-Sided Games?
