Dear Parent & Player,

Congratulations! You have been selected to play on one of the Rocky Hill Soccer Club Travel Teams.  The rosters for each of our Boys and Girls teams is listed at the end of this note.

Your coaches will also be contacting you sometime this week. Note that some of the rosters are not complete, coaches will be evaluating players that will be invited to a soccer workout by the Head Coach or Manager of that team.  Those teams who have rosters that are still in process will indicate that but will show the players that have currently been selected to participate with that team for the 2022-2023 season.   We expect that all players that have registered to play and selected to be added to the roster have committed to participate.  

This commitment will require you to participate in 2 practice sessions per week, friendly and league games, tournaments and any other RHSC event. The same applies for Spring play, it is understood that players may play other Spring Sports, but it is expected that the player will make every effort to participate in RHSC events.  It is expected that a discussion with your coach needs to occur to advise of any possible conflicts with these requirements during both the Fall and Spring Seasons.  By making this commitment you understand that you are fully accountable for fees regardless of the circumstances e.g., playing part time in the Spring due to Spring Sports, Injuries or deciding to not play in the Spring.  Please understand that we have budgeted based on the number of players and financial commitments have been made to cover the expense of providing these programs for the youth of Rocky Hill.

Please keep in mind that the Rocky Hill Soccer Club has a policy that travel team participants cannot also play on a parks and recreation team. Note this does not apply to the Pre-Travel Program.  The primary reason for this is to avoid conflicts in game and practice schedules, which would affect both teams. If you have registered for placement on a parks & recreation team, please contact their office to request a refund of your registration fee.

The operation and programs provided by the RHSC is funded solely through fees paid by families and the soccer tournament held in October of each year. We require every family to volunteer their time in planning or working at the tournament in October. Each team is required to choose a representative from their team to serve on the tournament committee for the year. The committee will meet weekly beginning sometime in Mid to late August in preparation for the tournament. The tournament is in its 24^th year! We have consistently had over 150 teams (last year we had 162 teams) participating in past RHSC tournaments. These funds are used to help cover administrative costs as well as subsidize player and coach development through clinics and training. Please consider joining the committee for the Fall 2022 season to continue the success of the RHSC.

Please also be advised that this is a uniform ordering year.  You will be getting instructions from Michele Jokl before the end of the month advising on the process to complete the ordering process.  You should get this done by early July so that your player (s) can get their uniforms in time for the Fall season.

Have a great summer vacation!
