RECREATIONAL CAMPS 2020/21
This year will look a little different for the Fall Recreational League. In Washington County, we are still in Phase 1 and therefore competition and games are not permitted under the regulations of our local and state authorities.
To ensure that the players return in the safest possible way, while enjoying the game that we all love, we have created a series of Camp Sessions over a 7 week program.
You can find more details below.
OVERVIEW
Recreation soccer is the entry level of soccer that Hillsboro Soccer Club offers. This level is available to players from age 5 (entering Kindergarten) through 14 (8th grade).
Recreation soccer is intended for players just entering soccer or those who simply enjoy the game and do not wish to participate in the more competitive Player Development and Junior levels.
Play in a HSC uniform, experience real life game time, coaching sessions twice weekly and most importantly - a LOT of fun!
DATES
The Fall Rec Camps will run on the following dates ;
September
19th, 23rd, 26th and 30th
October
3rd, 7th, 10th, 14th, 17th, 21st, 24th, 28th and 31st
November

We will primarily be located at the Hillsboro Stadium on the Ron Tonkin field, from 5pm to 9pm.
Practice sessions are 1 hour long during the 7 week program.
PRICING
Fall Base Fees - Player's registration fee covers equipment, field maintenance, risk management, insurance, head coach licensing fee, field rentals, and club operational cost.
Micro - Kinder/1st & 2nd Grade - $75.00
3rd/8th Grade - $75.00
** This is a reduced cost as an alternative to the usual TVYSL League that we host every Fall and Spring. There are no volunteer fees added to the base price.
FEE BREAKDOWN
Now more than ever, we are devoted to ensuring that no player goes without playing because of finances. In an effort to continue our transparency with all of our members, we have created the graphic to the right, to highlight where your registration fees go.
From overhead fees, coach incentives, education, equipment and fields, you can see the full breakdown to the right.
As you can see, every dollar counts, and during these unprecedented times, if you feel that you can help another member of our community play by sponsoring a player, we have ways in which you can do so.

Recreational Registration
Recreational Field & Overview
Practice sessions are 1 hour long where players will work through a structured 7-week program that focuses on the physical and technical side of the game through a social distancing curriculum instructed by Head Volunteer coaches.
These sessions will focus on a range of topics that include dribbling, passing and shooting.
The rostering of the players and teams have begun and we are still accommodating player friend and coach requests. The Pod size will not exceed 10 players.
Due to the Field Restrictions in place by our Local and State authorities, players must be dropped off in one location, and then collected in another.
We will be utilizing the main entrance as the Drop Off location, and the Collection Point will be to the South of the Field.
Parents are not permitted to enter the facility unless for an Emergency. Therefore we ask parents to sit and watch from the outside of the facility in the marked area on the map. Please ensure that you are wearing a mask and are maintaining your social distancing.
We have filled our 400 registration spots. Please contact our Recreational Coordinator Mason Aguirre via mason@hillsborosoccer.org in regards to open placements at specific age groups.

Registration Fee Details
Players who have registered for the Fall Recreational Season will not be required to re-register for the Fall Recreational Camps. The registration will be transferred automatically to the Fall Recreational Camps, and any price difference will be credited back to families that have already paid.
This is processed through TeamSnap and will take up to 20 business days to return to your account. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Please be sure to view your TeamSnap account from a Web Browser (the mobile app will not display the registrations) to see those issued credits.
HSC Academy - Taking the Next Step
In an effort to constantly look to improve our programs and the subsequent learning environment for our players, we realized that there is a gap between programs within our own Player Pathway.
To ensure that we are not doing a disservice to our players, we have created a brand new program called the HSC Academy. This program will be headed by our Recreational Co-ordinator Mason Aguirre, and our Assistant Director of Coaching Michael Wall. Along with quality and experienced coaches from our competitive program, we are looking to create a bridge for players to continue their growth.
Train on turf, with licensed coaches and a player centered environment, to allow our players to reach their true potential.
