Haddonfield Soccer Club

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!

SJSL Coronavirus Update

March 12th, 2020

To everyone - having reviewed the recommendations from the US Soccer Federation and US Club Soccer, and in light of the concerns raised by our member clubs, the South Jersey Soccer League (Boys) has decided the following:

1. All games for the month of March (3/15, 3/22, 3/29) are suspended, including any scheduled make up games.
2. We will reevaluate our position and email all member clubs on Wednesday, March 26th regarding whether the games scheduled for 3/29 will remain suspended or will be played.
3. Round 2 games (3/15) will not be made up.
4. Round 3 games (3/22) will not be made up if the league also cancels Round 4 games (3/29), otherwise a decision on the round makeup will be made at a later date.
5. Matches played in violation of this policy will not be sanctioned by the league.

We encourage all of our members to stay educated on the precautions and proactive measures published by the CDC, WHO and NJ Department of Health. Player and family safety should be our first priority. Thank you for your support and understanding in this challenging time.

Coronavirus Update

3/12/20 - The SJGSL has decided to postpone all week #2 games - those games from Saturday, 3/14 through Friday, 3/20 due to the Coronavirus situation.  We will be discussing what to do with games scheduled after 3/20 but we wanted to get this decision to you as quickly as we could.   

We will get further information out to everyone as it is developed.

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!
Amy Henry Minors on behalf of HSC
