HFC Night at the Revolution - Ticket Purchases

We currently have 30 players participating in the Night at the Revolution event on June 2 and an additional 82 people coming down to watch them play.  In total the club currently has 199 people attending the event!

At this point, we are going to stop accepting orders for tickets as we have fulfilled or obligation to the Revolution, BUT this does not mean you cannot come if you do not have tickets yet.  If you need to purchase additional tickets for friends or family or if you have just decided you are going to participate in the event you can still buy tickets directly from the Revolution.

For additional ticket purchases go to www.revolutionsoccer.net/nhsa and use special offer code REVOLUTION.

HFC EDPT - Game times

Teams:

A quick reminder that it is very improtant for players to be at games 40 minutes before game time.  Coaches need the tiime to get players warmed up and into game mode.  When players show up just before the startof a game, the difference in the team's performance is noticeable.

Please help the players out by planning enough travel time to arrive 40 minutes before the start of a game.  Remember for away games to leave a little extra time to find the field and park.

Thank you for assistance in providing a fist class training and game environment for your player.

You all should have received notifications for this weekends games from Teamer at this point.  We need you to respond to those notifications and let us know if your player will be attending the game this weekend or not.  Currently, only about 50% of the players have responded.  This is very important so we know if we will have enough players to field a team.  Being the start of school vacation week, we know that many families may be leaving on vacations.  So please respond to indicate if you are attending or not.  If you have already responded then thank you for you prompt attention to this request.

I am sending our a second notification to those who have not responded yet, so if you receive a notification today please respond to it, by logging into Teamer and indicating Yes or No to your player attending the indicated game.  Thanks.

HFC EDP Travel - Teamer MORE INFO

Parents,

A couple of parents have contacted me about not receiving notifications.

One limitation of the Teamer service is that only a single email and phone can be associated with a player.  When I setup the system I used the phone and email provided as contact info for the player when they were registered on GotSoccer.  For parents with multiple email addresses, this means one of the parents will not receive a notification.  Unfortunately, that is a limitation of the service I cannot control.  For those with iPhones, installing the iPhone app will enable you to receive the notifications even if you do not use the specified email.

Hope this eliminates some of the confusion.  I really believe this system will make things easier once we get over the setup hurdle.  Thanks for sticking with it.

HFC EDP Travel - Teamer Notifications sent / iPhone App

Parents,

Everyone should have received a notification for their game at this point.  If the notification is not in your inbox please check your Spam folder (This is where my notifications went first time).  Please let me know if you have any issues.

Second item is that Teamer has a nice iPhone App which makes life easy, especially on game day.  For those of you with iPhones, I would recommend downloading the app.  See the following link for more information.

Thanks everyone and see you at practice this evening.

There has been some issues with people not receiving invitations or having deleted invitations because they were for the wrong team.

I will be sending out notifications for our first games this weekend for all teams (Girls Blue's first game is 4/28).  The notifications should have a link and password to register with Teamer.  Please:

1. Accept the invitation to Teamer using the link and temp password
2. Validate your player's profile information
3. Change the phone to your mobile so you can receive text message notifications
4. Update your player's availability for the game

Let me know if you do not receive a notification or have issues registering with Teamer.  Thanks

HFC EDP Travel - Teamer

Parents, Manager and Coaches:

I have sent up each of the teams on a free service called Teamer.  Teamer allows Coaches and Managers to quickly and easily notify players of games and events and for players to indicate which games and events they will be able to attend.

Each of you should have received an invitation to join Teamer for your team.  Please follow the directions to login and set your own password.  Also please valid the player profile information.  If the telephone number is not your mobile number you might want to change it so you can receive the SMS notifications.

You alll might have received an invitation from Teamer for he Boys Blue team.  I made an error while setting up the Blue team which resulted in all players receiving an invitation.  If you are not on the Blue team you should have received a corrected invitation for your team a little later.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues.  Thanks.

HFC EDP Travel (U10) Outdoor Practice Begins on Wednesday 4/10

Players,

The sun is out and the snow is gone which means it is time for outdoor practice to begin.  Our first outdoor practice will be on this Wednesday, 4/10, @ 5:30 - 6:45pm on the Upper Wilkin's field.  We will be practicing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the rest of the season.  Practices will occur regardless of the weather.  Practices are only cancelled if the town closes the fields or there is active thunder and lightning.

Because of the current condition of the fields, the town has asked that there are NO CLEATS for the week or so of practices until the fields have completed drying out.

Players should arrive 5-10 minutes early so practice can start promptly at 5:30.  Players should be at practice with:

• Dressed in practice kit (Blue HFC t-shirt, black shorts) 
• Plenty of water
• A size 4 soccer ball
• Shin guards
• Soccer shoes (no cleats for the first week)
• A "ready to train" attitude

PARENT MEETING
To kick off our season, we will have a parent meeting after our first practice.  The parent meeting will start at 6:45pm and be about 15 minutes long.  We will introduce the coaches and the team managers, talk about the program and coaching philosophy and the goals for the Spring season.  In addition, we will talk about the expectations for practices and games and the special events this season including the Night at the Revolution and the Memorial day tournament.  This is a great chance for those new to the program to ask question as well.  We strongly encourage every family to attend the meeting, but if you cannot attend for some reason, we will publish meeting notes and will be happy to answer any questions you may have later.

A reminder that the last winter training session will be on Tuesday at the dome at the regular time for those participating.  Thank for your attention and we will see you all on the field on Wednesday.

HFC EDP Travel (u10) Spring Season

Parents and Players:

Welcome to the Spring season.  We hope to start practices next week, assuming the town opens the fields.  Practices will be held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5:30 - 6:45 on Upper Wilkins Field.  We start practice at 5:30 exactly so please have your player arrive a least 5-10 minutes early so they are ready to go when practice starts.  We would like to get 5 or 6 practices in before the first games which will be the weekend of April 20-21.  I will send out an email annoucing the first practice as soon as I receive word the fields are open.

We will be fielding 2 Boys teams and 2 Girls teams this season.  I would like to welcome the 18 new players to the pool who are joining us this season and the 24 returning players from the Fall season.  I am posting the preliminary rosters for the teams below, but the coaches are reserving the right to make same changes, if needed, after our first few practices to keep the teams balanced.  We want to make sure each team has a great season and that can be tough to do when we have not seen many of the players play yet.
