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.
