HFC/ASC Fall Season and Camp

Hello HFC/ASC,

It is hard to believe but fall is just around the corner and it is time for soccer – we are all excited!  Our fall season starts next week with our week long camp (see below for more information).  Marc Hubbard, Southern NH Univ. Men's Soccer Coach,  will be taking over the helm as Director of Coaching and will be running camp this year.  He brings with him much experience and many great coaches.

Just a couple of reminders and notes:
 
Registration - You will not be able to register at camp as we have done in the past due to the online system so please register asap.    If you have not already registered online (new club registration system), please do so immediately.  Even if you brought forms to tryouts, or signed up online in the old system, you will still need to go online to register.  This is a new system that the club is using and we appreciate your patience while we work out the kinks.  This process will make it much easier for next season and families with multiple players.

 Other items of note:

·         Player Photo (U10 - U14) - If you did not upload a player photo at the time that you completed the online registration, please log back into your account, select player and upload photo.  Photo's are required for player passes.

·         Print Form - Please print out the form at end of registration process and bring it with you to camp.

·         Payment - You will be prompted to pay online.  You can either pay by credit card or mail in a check.  If you have already sent in your $100 but would prefer to pay the entire dues online, you can pick up your check for the $100 deposit at camp.  Please see Lisa Davidson (Treasurer).

·         Team Registration - The club has decided to use our Hampshire FC name for all Upper Club teams that will be playing in a league (U11 and up).  We are a regional club with kids from Amherst, Wilton, Milford, Merrimack, Peterborough, New Boston, etc. and want to continue to embrace players from outside Amherst.  We have not recently registered teams as Hampshire, but have kept the name on our logo, and want to again use the name.  The EDP and Tots programs will continue to run under the Amherst Soccer Club name.

·         Uniforms (U10-U14 teams) - Due to the flipping of names, we have made some slight changes to the current club logo.  This, in combination with our current uniform shorts being discontinued by Nike, has had a slight impact on uniform options.  This fall our red shirt will be long sleeves.  So, the full uniform package will include a white game jersey (short sleeves), red alternative game jersey (long sleeves), Nike shorts and Nike socks for $60.  You will be able to view sizes with samples that will be at camp the first two days.  Because the uniforms are only a slight variation, players who already have a uniform from past seasons can elect to purchase a new package, purchase new individual items, or stay with their current uniform.

·         Camp is for ALL players EDP and up and is Monday August 8th-12th, 9AM - 1PM.  Kids can be dropped off any time after 8:30.  Coaches will work with players from 9-12.  The time from 12-1 is lunch, free time, soccer games - monitored by high school students and adults.  Kids can stay for the hour or be picked up at noon.  Please bring:  bag lunch, soccer ball (and pump if you have one), cleats, shin guards, sunscreen, water.   

Thanks,
ASC Board
