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.

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.

HFC U10 - Indoor Futsal League

Team:

Our season is coming to an end next weekend, but I know that there are some players who cannot get enough soccer.  While the next official club activity is indoor training starting in January, for players who are interested, I am willing to coach an indoor Futsal team during the Nov and Dec.

Futsal is a form of indoor soccer played around the world and is widely recognized for it ability to improve the foot skills of players.  This would be a 9 week season with 8 games and playoffs.  No practices.  It is a purely fun way for players to get touches on the ball.

This would be an addition cost to the club dues.  The exact cost per player would depend on the number of players on the team, but would be in the range of $75-$110.  If you are interested, please reply ASAP.  I am a little late on this and the team registration closed at the end of the week, so I will need a good idea of the number of interested players before Friday.  If you have any questions please email or see me after practice.  I am happy to discuss.  Thanks and see you on the soccer pitch!

More Information about futsal
NH Futsal League - http://www.usyouthfutsal.com/futsalnh/index_E.html

Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA. It earned the status of FIFA's official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, heavier low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls.

This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and technique. In traditional American walled soccer, players regularly whack the ball (and sometimes their bodies) against the boards which promotes improper technique and too often rewards errant play. In futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game.

The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, pin-point passing. The small, heavier futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball handling technique. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.

HFC U10 - Pepperell Tournament Preliminary Schedule

Teams:

The preliminary schedule for the Pepperell Tournament is available.  This schedule is still subject to change until Oct 5.

We will be playing our normal team rosters for the tournament with the addition of a few guest players.  Mike Erickson will be joining the BU10 Blue team, Miles Lim will be joining the BU10 Red team, and Megan Kirk will be joining the GU10 Red team.

The games are a little shorter than our normal league games with 2 x 20 minute halves and no half time break, just a switch of fields.

The games are scheduled close together, so players should plan on remaining at the tournament site with lots of fluids and light snacks to recover between games.

Please plan on arriving at least 45 minutes before you first game.  Players should wear their red shirts but bring white as well.  Directions and a map of the fields is attached.

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

HFC u10 - Sunday, May 13 UPDATE

Team:

The Boys Red team's game, originally scheduled for Saturday, May 12 @ 4:30pm in Milford has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 13 @ 2:30pm in Milford.  This was done to avoid a conflict with the Night at the Revolution.  This means the two Boys game will be played at almost the same time, so it is very important that everyone shows up.  Boys please let me know asap if you will not be able to play at your game this Sunday as we have very few players to spare.

I have attached an updated game roster to reflect the new schedule and the addition of Ethan Lim to the Boys Red team roster.  Please use this new game roster for you planning.

As always let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.

HFC u10: Game rosters for the season

Team:

As you probably know our rosters for the two boys team are a little short.  This means we need a couple of extra players for each boys game.  I have created a game roster sheet for all of the games (see attached)  this season and checked off the players I would like to attend each game.  You are expected to attend every game for your primary team, but in addition each boy (or girl who wanted to) has a couple of extra games to attend.  I have spread the extra games out evenly so that all the players should get equal playing time.

Please check the schedules and let me know if there are any games you cannot attend.

Because of the vacation week we have a few boys missing so I am asking all the boys to commit to both games on Sunday 4/29, in Milford, please let me know asap if this is an issue.  Thanks.

HFC/ASC Night at the Revolution

U10 Team:

We have signed up for the Night at the Revolution, an opportunity to play a game on the Gillette stadium field and see a Revolution soccer game.  I did this last year with the BU11 team and it was a great experience and a lot of fun for the players!  We will be taking a boys team and a girls team to the event.

NH Soccer Association and the Revolution are sponsoring a Night at the Revolution.  The kids get to play a game on Gillete stadium field and then after watch the Revolution play a game.  As part of the deal we need to commit to 30 tickets per team.  We will be opening this up to everyone in the club and last year we sold 69 tickets with just one team.  The tickets are $25 ($10 discount).  See the attached flyer for details.

If you are interested, please respond with the name of the player and how many tickets you will need.  You will also need to fill out the attached order form and turn it in to me.

Please reply and let me know:

player name
number of tickets

I will be looking for at least 10 boys and 10 girls to commit, although I will take as many as want to participate.  If you commit to the tickets, once we order, you will be responsible paying and finding alternates if for some reason you cannot attend.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks

PLAY A GAME ON THE

GILLETTE STADIUM FIELD BEFORE THE REVOLUTION!

Games will be 8v8, 25 minutes, u8-u16 boys and girls

Two reminder items.

1. The club is trying to reschedule the end-of-season event.  Please look out for more information about this during the week.
