FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1: What does a regular soccer session look like?

A1: For the U6, U8 and U11 age groups, each Wednesday night is a combination of practice and a game. Teams will begin by practicing/learning and finish the session with a game against another team. 

For the U4 age group, there are no planned games, only grassroots learning activities. This doesn’t mean that inter-squad games can’t take place later in the season, only that they are uncommon for that age.

Q2: Is HCSC insured?

A2: Yes. As an organized sporting club, we carry insurance that is renewed annually to insure protection and safety.

Each child will receive a team jersey for the season with the club logo. Players will be permitted to keep their jersey at season’s end. Players will also receive black shorts and socks that they will be able to keep.

Q4: What equipment is needed to play?

Q5: How will we know about cancellations?

A5: A cancellation will only take place in the event of heavy rain or extreme heat. In the event that a cancellation could take place on a day of play, HCSC will consult 311 with the City of Halifax.
