Each team will be assigned a practice field to use throughout the season. Coaches may hold practices any day of the week, but will only be guaranteed a practice field on their assigned weekday. Field assignments will be posted on the HOSA website. Coaches will determine practice times.
Practices typically start 2 or 3 weeks before the first game. Length of practices depends on the age division. The following guidelines generally apply:
U5: 30 minute sessions *
U6 - U8: 45 - 60 minute sessions
U9- U12: 60 - 90 minute sessions
* Once games start, U5 teams only practice during the first 30 minutes of their designated game time and do not continue with weekday practice sessions.
Coaches may practice in green space anytime they must deviate from their assigned practice night/field unless there is a field not already being occupied. Coaches are free to contact other coaches to switch practice days or to set up scrimmages, prior permission from HOSA/HRSL is not required. HOSA/HRSL will not maintain changes to the Field Reservation Chart once it has been released for the season.
