Practices typically start 2 or 3 weeks before the first game.  Length of practices depends on the age division.   Coaches will determine practice times.   The following guidelines generally apply:

U5: 30 minute sessions *
U6 - U8: 45 - 60 minute sessions
U9- U12: 60 - 90 minute sessions

There is approximately 10 minutes before each game to warm up. 

* Once games start, U5 teams only practice during the first 30 minutes of their designated game time and do not continue with any extra practice sessions.

IMPORTANT - Always check the goals to make sure the are staked down before every practice.  Please do not practice near any goal that is not properly staked (all our goals are staked and checked throughout the season but we do have occasional vandalism that mess with the goals).  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. If you are  needing to switch practice days please look on the field chart below to see what days/fields are available.

Please check the Field Status on home page of website to see if fields are open  - field status is updated by 4:00 each day.   HRSL/HOSA does not cancel practices due to bad weather but will cancel for poor field conditions - it is up to each coach to cancel due to bad weather conditions for practices only.  HRSL/HOSA determines whether games are on due to weather/field conditions.
