WINTER DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE 1
Even though 2020 has looked vastly different than in years past, we are committed to offering the best soccer experience possible to the youth of Hillsboro. Now that our successful Fall Recreational Camps have finished, we are moving forward with our Winter Development League 1.
To ensure that all of our players return in a safe manner, we have continued working with state and local authorities to stay up to date with the requirements of the Return to Play.

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!

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 Field & Overview
Practice sessions are 1 hour long where players will work through a structured 3-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 be designed around the Play-Practice-Play model, and 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 North 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.

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.
Registration for this event will be available alongside the Spring Registration
