Coaches - Under 8 Info
Hudson Youth Soccer Association
Welcome to the Hudson Youth Soccer Association. (HYSA)
The season runs from [Sept. 12th to Nov. 9th with Oct 12th off for Columbus Day Weekend].
The Practices/scrimmages schedule will be provided by the coach.
Since the U8 league is the first time our HYSA players experience a real game situation it is very important to us at HYSA that our parents always represent our program in a positive and respectful manner at all times. To accomplish this HYSA would like you all to keep the following in mind at all times:
1) Be Positive At All Times! Be positive to all players, parents of both teams as well as referees.
2) The goal of the U8 league is simply to “Have FUN, get some exercise and learn the game of soccer”! We aim for each player to have so much fun that they continue to come back and play each season! At this level we do not keep score or standings.
3) Please keep in mind that all referees at this level are very young and just starting to learn. There is an absolute “No Tolerance Policy” - Parents, spectators and coaches should never talk to a referee from the sidelines.
4) Please leave the coaching to the Coaches. We ask that parents and spectators do not coach from the sidelines. When cheering, use only positive words such as “nice play”, “good hustle”, “great try”, “excellent job”, etc. Also be sure to cheer for all the kids on both teams.
If we follow these simple rules I think we be able to set the example for the other teams and consistently represent HYSA as a Class organization. This will allow all the kids to enjoy a wonderful experience!

Hopefully, this will ensure that no matter what town a team is playing in, they can expect the same things from that town's referees and coaches.
