Dear HSC Travel Families,

Following the Governor’s announcement yesterday, and the official cancelation of the boys’ season by SJSL this weekend, we’re writing with the sad news that HSC boys and girls travel soccer is canceled for the rest of the Spring season. We’re looking forward to the Fall season, and hope you’ll be with us when we return. See our next steps below, and more details in our FAQ section under the Quick Links  section.

-All Spring travel players will be eligible to use a code good for a credit of $40 toward the registration for fall or spring 2020/2021. Spring constitutes $50 of the total fee for the year, and this $40 reflects a total refund, less training and ref fees incurred during the first weeks of the season. HSC is covering field management costs and other fees in the interest of providing the largest credit possible to our families during this time. 

-In addition to the $40 credit toward 2020/2021 registration described above, 2020 “Spring-only” players, who paid $195 for spring, will receive an additional refund of $70 applied to their original form of payment. The total amount refunded reflects the additional sunk costs of uniforms and player’s card (which fall/spring players do not incur during the spring), along with training and ref fees incurred during the first weeks of the season. HSC is covering field management costs and other fees in the interest of providing the largest refund/credit possible to our families during this time.

-If your family is experiencing hardship during this time, or if you know for certain that your child will not be playing for HSC in 2020/2021, please email HSC’s head of Finance, Brian Kirwan, at financevp@haddonfieldsoccer.org to request a refund of $40 instead of the credit toward a future registration. Please note that these refunds will need to be generated manually, and will be issued as either a refund to your credit card (for Spring-only or Spring add-on families) or as a physical check (for Fall/Spring families).

-Plans for tryouts for 2020/2021 (which typically occur during March/April) for the fall 2020 season are still pending. However, we will plan to hold a zoom call in the next few weeks in which our VP of Player Development and Director of Coaching will describe the method and process behind tryouts under normal circumstances and what they will look like this year (based on what we know at that time). More info will follow…

-We will re-open registration for Fall/Spring 2020/2021 by May 18. At that time, we will let you know how to exercise your credit for the upcoming season(s). If you already registered and paid for Fall/Spring 2020/2021, and are eligible for the Spring credit, we will refund your payment method by $40 as soon as possible. 

Please know that the well-being of our players and their families are at the center of all the decisions we make at HSC, now more than ever. We hope you are staying safe, and we’ll be ready to embrace the new normal with you when the time is right.

Thanks!

HSC Families,

We hope you and your families are doing well.

We're sad to report that we are canceling the town/rec soccer season for spring 2020 due to Covid-19. We believe this is the right thing for our players, parents and coaches, although, like many of you, we would love to see our kids and yours on the field right now. When we do return, know that our soccer community will be excited to embrace our new normal together. 

Please read below for details on refunds and for updates on the travel seasons (spring 2020 and fall/spring 2020/2021).

We will be providing a full refund for town/rec soccer, applicable to the fall season. 

-Because our town players did not make it onto the field at all this season, we have few sunk expenses associated with this program.

-Because we transitioned to a new registration system, we are currently working through the best way to process refunds/credits. We will provide an update on when and how you can expect this payment as soon as possible. 

As of right now, boys and girls travel leagues are paused through May 15.

-Our decision to resume the season or cancel will follow recommendations from our leagues, US Soccer, the board of Ed and the Borough. 

2020/2021 tryouts are postponed til further notice. 

-As a reminder, fall/spring players must be registered before tryouts to be placed on fall/spring rosters.

Thank you, and as always, please feel free to email me at president@haddonfieldsoccer.org with any questions.

HSC Families,

We hope you're all doing well - in every sense of the word.

We're writing to let you know that we're extending our current travel soccer "pause" and our town/rec delay til 4/19, through spring break. We are still waiting to see what happens next, as we're sure you are too. We will send updates on what both travel and town seasons might look like as soon as we know.

As you know, tryouts for 2020 fall/2021 spring travel teams were planned for the beginning of April. We will no longer be conducting tryouts on this schedule. We will communicate new dates as soon as we have more information, but in the meantime, registration will be open for next year's travel teams until tryouts occur.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to HSC, and to me personally, with any questions or concerns. We don't want soccer to be a source of anxiety for any of our families right now...To that end, our Director of Coaching, Jim Bonder has designed a few fun activities to keep your kids (little and big) kicking during this time. Stay tuned!

HSC Families,

We hope you're all doing well! 

SJGSL, our girls travel league, just officially canceled all games through Saturday March 28 (as we expected). With this, all soccer activity is officially canceled until March 30. We will reassess the situation at that time.

Thank you!

HSC Families,

We've made the decision to pause our travel season and to delay the start of our rec season by two weeks to help keep our players, coaches and parents safe during the Covid19 outbreak.

-Travel was previously canceled through this weekend - this now extends to team training/practices through the week of March 30.
-Boys games are canceled during the same time period.
-Girls games have not officially been canceled beyond this weekend, but we expect they will be. Please look for communication from your coaches (and give them a few days).
-Rec/Town soccer will start the week of March 30 instead of this week.

We appreciate your patience and wish all of you health and happiness over the next few weeks. Imagine how excited our kids will be to get back on the field! And Crows Woods might have it's best spring ever!

HSC Families,

This update only applies to boys travel, but we're sending to the whole database so you're kept apprised...SJSL has just announced that BOYS TRAVEL games are canceled for the next three weeks (3/15, 3/22 and 3/29) with the situation reassessed at the end of this time period. We will share updates from SJGSL (girls travel) as we receive them, but as a reminder, this weekend's games, and all practices and training are canceled).

Thanks!

HSC Parents and Families,

We know you're concerned about the HSC and South Jersey Soccer Leagues' take on this season, given Covid-19. We are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to communicate via email and on our website. Please know that we understand your concerns and are doing our best to keep up with this rapidly changing situation. Here's where we are:
-First and foremost, we never want to make our players or their families and coaches feel unsafe. If a team decides not to play, or a parent prefers to keep their child at home, of course, we support you.
-We are following the lead of the Haddonfield BOE and our leagues to ensure that we make an informed decision. As of right now, our leagues have not cancelled games and have not advised us to cancel practices. We will also coordinate with our friends from other Haddonfield spring sports so we're benefitting from their thinking and knowledge.
-We advise common sense precautions...Kids should not drink from each other's water bottles, should avoid hand contact and should NOT come to practice if they're sick. It's allergy season, as many of us know, but if your child is coughing or sneezing, even if they're not sick, let's have them sit this one out. We all know this is easier said than enforced.
-We know some tournaments have canceled in the past few hours, so this situation could change hour-by-hour.

We know this is a challenging time for all parents. We're in it with you and are happy to hear from you. Email is a bit easier, as you might imagine, we're getting lots of inquiries :)

Thanks!
