Fall 2023 Welcome Information

Opening day is set for Saturday, September 9th - a near three weeks away. Our preparations are long underway to kick-off the season!

This email shares key updates that you should be aware of prior to the season:

  1. Team Assignments: We plan to release the team assignments around September 1st. We do our best to honor requests; however, it may not be possible to honor every request as teams are structured to balance grade, age, roster size, and skill. For example, there may be 20 players that requested to be on the same team; however, the roster can only handle 12 players – making it impossible to honor every request. Friendly reminder that there are no refunds if a request cannot be honored.
  2.  Game Schedules: Tentative game schedules have been created and will be released shortly after team assignments are released. When the schedule is released, please contact your coach directly if you are unable to attend a game due to other commitments.
  3. Practices (1st grade through 8th grade): Coaches will communicate practice times closer to the start of the season. All practices will be held at Oak Glen Park during the week. Note that we have no way of knowing practice times in advance of assigning you a team, so we cannot take requests for that. Be sure to write your child's name on your equipment (soccer balls, bags, etc.) to avoid lost items.
  4.  Uniforms: Each player will receive a game jersey that is worn on game day and a pair of black soccer socks. Please make sure that you player has shin-guards that can be worn under the sock, along with soccer cleats (non-metal) – sneakers are okay for Pre-K & K! Friendly reminder that all jewelry (especially earrings) will need to be removed to participate…we recommend no new piercings until after soccer season in November.
  5.  Game Day Information: Parking is not permitted near fire hydrants or in front of "no parking signs" on Preventorium Road. There are no concession stands, just bathroom facilities - be sure to bring water! Rainout information will be communicated by 8am on game day if needed. We can play in the rain – so this decision is based on field conditions and member safety.
  6.  Health & Safety: We are always aware of player health and safety, and remind members to do their part. Practice health and safety protocols, do not come to the games/practices if your child is sick. As players return to the classroom and field this fall, please be mindful of this!

We look forward to an awesome season and will communicate further updates as the summer comes to a close! Please contact [email protected] with any questions in the interim.

Thank you,

Ryan Foley
Howell Soccer Club President
