HFC Night at the Revolution - Ticket Purchases

Teams:

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.

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.
