Do I have to volunteer to coach?

No!

We are about the only rec league in Charlotte that does not make parents volunteer to coach.  Instead, all of our coaches are talented soccer players who know the beautiful game and play it well.  We find that our players look up to their teenage/early-college coaches.  Each and every coach has completed a training in child safety.

Where is my game schedule?

We use a software for our game schedules that has a FREE ap for our parents.  Once you download the ap, it will show you your entire games schedule.  It also shows you practice times.  And sends you game reminders, as well as practice reminders.  Our parents love this ap.  It makes evertything super easy!

How long is the season?

Each season is 8 weeks long.  You get 8 weeks of practice and 7 weekends of games.

Because of the tournament and possible double headers during the regular season, each team plays atleast 7 games, but most teams play more than 7 games per season.

Each season, we take a break.  For the Spring, we take 2 weeks off around Easter and Spring Break.  For the Fall, we take a 2 week break towards the end of October.  We finish each season before “Memorial Day” (Spring) and “Thanksgiving” (Fall) respectively.

U12 teams compete at Hope Soccer Ministries of Pineville.

Hope Skills Clinics are available to your child on the day they don’t practice. They are designed to let your child get more touches on the ball when they don’t have practice.  Hope coaches run drills and scrimmage.  You can find out more about it here, and sign up as well.  Cost is $5 per session.  This is only for players who are registered to play at Hope for the season.

Local community and Hope Soccer

At Hope, we love to build community.  Each season we host a “Community Night at the Park” and we invite all our parents to come by and meet each other. Hand out business cards and make connections.

If you are a small business owner and would like to get involved by sponsoring a team, we will print your logo on that team’s shirts and advertise your business through your sponsorship.  Learn more here.

Practice Strategy

Our youth soccer team for Ages 12 and under will focus on field awareness.   Our objective is to teach our players how to use the space on the field creatively!

We will focus on field awarness and movement off the ball.

We will teach our players how to maintain possesion of the ball and the creativity it takes to transition from possesion to attacking and finishing.

We will show our players how to differentiate between individual excellence and team harmony.

At each practice, we share our faith with players wishing to hear. 

Please remember to wear your soccer gear including cleats, and shin guards.  Please bring a water bottle and hand sanitizer.
