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 Night at the Revolution - UPDATE

HFC U10 Families,

For the third year, the club will be participating in the Night at the Revolution event.

For new players, I would like to introduce you to a unique and memorable experience we have been participating in for the last two years.  In partnership with the New Hampshire Soccer Association and the New England Revolution, we will be participating in the Night at the Revolution on June 2.

This event provides the opportunity for players to play a game on the Gillette Stadium field.  In addition, there will be a tailgate following the games and then a MLS game with the Revolution playing the LA Galaxy.  We have registered two boys teams and a girls team in the U10 group.  I want to thank those families who have already expressed an interest.

What we need now is a completed order form with the number of tickets your family needs. Tickets for the event are discounted at $25 (normally $37).  You are welcome to invite as many people as you choose (friends, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc).  Remember your player needs a ticket as well.

We have an April 12 deadline to purchase 30 tickets per registered team, so please return a completed order form with your players name and number of tickets asap.

Your team managers will be contacting you shortly and you should plan on returning the order forms to them.  If for some reason you do not hear from your manager, have a question they cannot answer, please feel free to contact me directly.  Thanks.

Please reply ASAP and let me know the player and how many tickets you are interested in.  This is not a commitment until you give me the order form, so you do not have to be exact and can add people later if you like .  We just need to get an idea of the level of interest.  Thank and let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.

We will be fielding 2 Boys teams and 2 Girls teams this season.  The first games of the season will be on the weekend of April 20-21.  We will look to start practice a least 2 weeks before the start of the season, although the exact date usually depends on when the fields are opened by the town (depending on field conditions).  We will get back to everyone with the team rosters once they are finalized.  The schedules should be available by April 1 (no fooling).

Your dues help to cover the team expenses such as professional and licensed coaches, state registration, league registration, tournament fees, referee fees, camp, insurance, field rental, etc. To help keep the fees reasonable, we use some of the proceeds from our Memorial Day Tournament to offset the dues as well as indoor training costs.
