Hilliard Recreational Soccer League (HRSL)
Welcome to the HRSL Page!
 

Recreational soccer is a great place to start a child that has never played soccer before. It is also a wonderful program to have a child in that wants to play soccer for the fun of it without the competitive side to it. Hilliard Recreational Soccer League (HRSL) registers players twice each year, typically in January and June. Recreational players range in age from 4 to 12 years of age and can register to play HRSL with the exception of players entering middle school (7th/8th grade).  Those players are encouraged to play their middle school soccer for Fall and then play MSSA program with us in the Spring.  Any person that does the online registration and meets these age criteria is accepted regardless of where they live - as long as their is an opening on a team.  Recreational teams are formed each Fall through random assignment of registered players.  Players remain with their Recreational team through the Fall and Spring seasons.  Should players drop off teams for the Spring season, they are replaced by new registrants.  If more players register for the Spring season then there are openings, new teams are formed for the Spring season only.  HRSL makes every attempt to place players on teams.  Unfortunately, we typically have 12 to 25 players per season that we are unable to place on teams because the teams are full and there are not enough age specific players to form a new team. We do not take requests to be on a certain team or to be with a certain coach or player. Registration for the Fall season is in June, while the Spring season registration is in January.


Parents of players on a team volunteer to coach the teams.  Teams are organized into leagues by age group and sex.   The U5 age group is for players aged 4 to 5 years.  U-6, U-7, U-8, U9 and U10-12 leagues are formed with teams whose players are younger than the upper age on August 1st.  For example, if a player is 7 years old on August 1st, they play in an under eight years old (U-8) league. See Quick Link below to see what age group your child will fall into.

 

The fall and spring season consists of seven games played on Saturday or Sunday for one hour between teams registered with HRSL.  All teams will practice once per week (Monday - Friday) for one hour starting two-three weeks before the first game of the season, except for the U5 age group.  The U5 teams will practice once before the season games start sometime during the week night, and then once the season starts they will practice 1/2 hour on Game Day (Saturday or Sunday) and then play a 1/2 hour game following the practice.  Coaches will contact the player's family a week before the practices begin to share which day of the week and time you have practice. The game schedules will be available on each family's account on the website a week before the practices begin. A professional third party photographer takes team and individual pictures each season.  HRSL receives a portion of the revenue generated from those families that voluntarily purchase the pictures. 

 

Hilliard Recreational Soccer League (HRSL) fees per season: $45.00 U5,  $70.00 U6-U12 

Please note that once a child is registered for a program there are no refunds given.
