HPSA Player Attendance Policy

HPSA players are expected to attend all team events.

This includes team practices, games, and tournaments. To promote a positive team culture, HPSA players are encouraged to attend optional team events which may include team parties or dinners.

HPSA game warm-ups will begin 30 minutes before game time; U8 teams and younger may get there 20 minutes prior to game time, per the coach’s discretion. This means players should be ready to warm up 30 minutes before kickoff. Some players prefer to spend a few minutes mentally and physically preparing for the game- running to the bathroom, listening to music, etc. If this sounds like your player, plan on arriving more than 30 minutes prior to game time so your player and the team has a solid and complete warm up.

The only excused absences for practices and games includes school conflicts or family emergency. HPSA is a competitive soccer club that seeks to instill accountability and commitment in their players – therefore, we expect our players to be a model teammate and show up accordingly.
