Q: I’d like to register my child, but there are certain days that he/she is not available for practice – what should I do?
A: When you register, please make note of the weekday(s) your child is not available to practice. When we form the teams, we will do our best to assign your child to a coach/team that meets on a day your child is available. Please note, this only applies to practices for Pre-K, Juniors and Seniors. Conflicts with games cannot be accommodated, as schedules affect multiple teams.
Q: How old does my child have to be to start with EHSC?
A: Children must be at least three years old by the start of the session to participate in the Pre-K division.
Q: My child is 5 and currently enrolled in Kindergarten, but has never played soccer before. Which division should I sign up for?
A: There is no experience necessary at the Rec League level. Eligibility is purely based on age and/or grade. If your child is enrolled in Kindergarten, then the Kindergarten division is the right one for them. Rest assured, not all children who play at the Kindergarten level have played before, so your child is not alone!

A: For the player's safety, no jewelry of any kind should be worn during practices or games.
