Hamilton North Futbol Club

Mission Statement

HNFC (formerly HHSYC) is a 501(c)(3) organization and our goal is to provide an opportunity for the youth in the Northern Hamilton County Indiana area to play soccer at a recreational and competitive level. HNFC strives to promote the game of soccer for the physical and mental benefit of the players, parents, and coaches by providing an environment to develop and challenge all skill levels while encouraging good sportsmanship and fair play in its players,parents, and coaches.

Offered Programs

	Recreational: The HNFC recreational league soccer program is for children ages 4-10. The primary objective of the Recreational program is to enable players to learn the game of soccer in a fun and stimulating environment. The focus is on developing their skills to help them be the best soccer players they can be, while maintaining a healthy approach to competitive soccer. We provide the opportunity for all children of any skill level to learn and play soccer. We focus on FUN! Players learn about good sportsmanship, teamwork, and get great exercise. All team members play at least half of every game. There are no cuts or tryouts. Each child receives a uniform. Players provide black shorts, shin guards, a ball, and a water bottle. It is run totally by parent volunteers. Coaches: HNFC registers approximately 150-175 children each season and we rely completely on parent coaches. We will set as many teams as possible based on the number of parent volunteer coaches and field availability. If you would like to be a coach or an asst. coach please contact the HNFC board at [email protected] or the Rec League Commissioners. It’s a great, no pressure opportunity to have fun with kids in your community. Practices/Games: Individual coaches schedule practices. As a guideline, we suggest 1-2 practices a week maximum. Each team will be scheduled to play eight games within the U-6 league, ten games within the U-8 league, and twelve games within the U-10 league during the season.
	Rec Plus: Hamilton North FC (HNFC) has two levels of play after recreational play has ended at U10. Players U11 and up have the option of moving to a Recreation Plus (Rec+) league or to a Travel team. Rec + is a step towards more competitive play. There are no tryouts and playing time is guaranteed. Participation is on a first come, first served basis for eligible players. There is some light travel involved to surrounding clubs, but they are in the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. There are 8 games (4 home and 4 away) and includes a tournament. All the same regulations apply to Rec + as they do with travel soccer for the age group. Hamilton Heights participates in the North Central Recreational Soccer League (ncrsl.com). Coaches are volunteers and may or may not be licensed.
	Travel: Hamilton North FC also has travel soccer teams participating in the Indiana Soccer League (soccerindiana.org). Travel soccer is designed for the player desiring to refine their skills and desiring more competition. Different than Rec +, tryouts are held and players are selected by the coach. Similar to Rec +, travel soccer teams play other soccer clubs in the surrounding area. Typical travel is 30-45 minutes away, but can be as much as 60-75 minutes away. There are 8 regular season games (4 at home, 4 away) and coaches may choose to participate in a tournament. Coaches are volunteers, but are required by Indiana Soccer to have their coaching license.
