Homewood Soccer Club

HSC is pleased to announce that our free weekly Skills Sessions are set for each Tuesday this fall and spring seasons with Coaches Sean McBride, Robert Dominguez, and Jeff Brannon. Players age U9-U12 will train from 4:30-6pm and ages U13 and above train from 7:30-9:00pm on the main fields.

Skill Sessions consist of 45 minutes of fitness and 45 minutes of ball-work, which will challenge players to be at their peak physical and technical best throughout the season. Coaches will work on conditioning as well as footwork in a combination to improve the individual player’s ability to perform on his or her team. Come join in the fun!

New U-8 Transition Program

Reason for changes

1. Increase the challenges and excitement for the players
2. Increase the rate of individual player development
3. Prepare players for success at the Red Team play level against other soccer clubs, which begins at U-9.

Changes
1. Normal Thursday session will be practice only with no game
2. U-8 teams will be co-ed
3. U-8 teams will play intramural games on Saturdays

There will be active coaching during the games. Learning is the most important goal.

Congratulations to U9 Homewood FC “Reds” for their runner-up spot in last weekend’s Hoover 3v3 Live Tournament at Riverchase Sports Park. In the championship match, the team was down 2-1 at halftime before the game eventually slipped away, but it was a great, fun experience for the boys in the scalding June heat. Well done!

Homewood FC “Reds” qualified for for the nationals at Kings Island, OH in August.

2nd Place Homewood FC Reds

The Homewood Parks and Recreation Board celebrated the grand opening of the Second Phase of the Homewood Soccer Park on Saturday, March 27, 2010. This phase includes a large new field and a beautiful building containing a concession facility and rest rooms. Present to help celebrate this grand event were Berkley Squires Homewood Parks and Recreation Director and Tom Blake and Chris Mason, from the HP&R Board of Directors and Linda Sellers, HP&R Athletic Director. Mayor Scott McBrayer performed the ribbon cutting and was joined by Homewood City Council member Allyn Holladay and J. J. Bischoff, Executive Assistant to the Mayor.

Watching the event with pride and anticipation were David Putman, Soccer Director and Sean McBride, Director of Coaching, both from the Homewood Soccer Club, which is the primary user of the Soccer Park. The day was extra festive with a large crowd present to witness the event and the day’s soccer games while the children enjoyed the Soccer Clown, balloons and ice cream. It was a beautiful day to cut the ribbon and celebrate the opening of a beautiful new park for our community. Many thanks to all the people who made this possible.

A total of 61 teams consisting of 360 kids from 8 to 13 years of age (not to mention hundreds of parents, siblings, family and friends) participated in the first Winter Breakout 3v3 Tournament at Homewood Soccer Club this past weekend. The weather was perfect, in the upper 60s and the sun was shining.

Congratulations to the Homewood teams that placed:
U10 girls Homewood Lightening — first place
U10 boys Homewood Kukonakas — second place
U13/14 girls Homewood Manhandlers — first place

Congrats to all the players and coaches for a memorable, fun day of soccer. Thanks to all our wonderful sponsors, volunteers, vendors, and all those who helped make this day a success!

On a side note, if there was an award for best team name of the day, it would have to go to the Evil Pop Tarts. Inventive. They will be receiving medals in the mail for best name!

Last night Rob Dominguez’s blue team had a rare delight: soccer practice in the snow! Not only did they help “break in” the wonderful new field debuting this spring season, they did it in snow style.
