Recreational (Under 11-18)

It is the goal of Hoover Soccer Club to provide a playing environment for all those seeking to participate in the game of soccer.  The recreational program is available for boys and girls from the Under-11 to Under-18 age group. Our recreational soccer program is designed to maximize fun, teach players the basics and help them develop a life-long love of the game.  Teams are coached by volunteers and will practice two nights per week and play games on Saturdays (Occasionally a Sunday or Weekday game may be required to complete the season).  Recreational teams will be registered with the Central Alabama Soccer League (CASL) and will play against other affiliated CASL teams.  For more information about CASL please visit www.centralalabamasoccerleague.com.

Recreational Team Placement and Request Policies

This is the procedure used in forming teams for the Hoover Soccer Club recreational programs.  This procedure is used for all players that registered and paid on time.  If payment is not received by the last day of registration, that player falls into the “waitlist” until payment is received and may lose their spot on their former team.

First, all returning (or continuing) players requesting to return to the same team from the previous season are placed first.
New players are then placed onto teams.  A new player is someone that did not play the previous season.  If you missed the last season, you are considered “new” again.  A birth certificate is only required for new players that have never played for the Hoover Soccer Club recreational program before.
Requests for specific teams are on a first-come first-serve basis after all returning players are placed.  
Waitlists are then taken to fill-in any available spots on these teams.
Play-up requests are taken last and are on a first-come first-serve basis as we have to place all “true” ages to the appropriate age group first. 
Please keep in mind that our first goal is to place every child we can.  However, we must keep teams as equal as possible in regards to their roster sizes.  Although there may be a “spot” available on a certain team doesn’t mean we can place them on that team.  We need to make sure all teams are equal and meet roster minimums.

Please remember - Coaches can NOT offer spots!!!
