Welcome to the new Hopkinton Youth Soccer website! Over the last few years, we received a lot of parent feedback about the “challenges” of our old site. With the help and efforts of some fantastic Board Members and volunteers, we are excited to launch our new website. We wanted to create something that was easy to navigate and get you the information you want and need quickly and easily. I hope you find it helpful and easy to use!

We’ve got a lot of *New*going on this season. It’s been great to look out on the fields and see *New* uniforms. I know the girls on the team I coach were excited about the look and feel of the new orange uniforms! We’ve been able to put two age groups over on the *New* grass fields next to the turf at the Fruit Street Athletic Complex, beautiful fields! And we have some *New* Board Members bringing some fresh perspectives to the organization, including my *New* role as President.

I grew up playing soccer, and I remember so many of my soccer games, from my first season where my team (The “Wanderers”) scored one goal the entire season, to the three state championships I won with my Framingham United Soccer teams. But what I remember more than the specifics of the games are the memories I made with teammates and friends…and it is that sense of friendship and community that I love to see on Saturday mornings. What a great way to start the weekend by walking the sidelines, catching up with neighbors and friends and watching the kids running around with their friends. Did you know we have over 1200 kids playing soccer this Fall? You can’t help but run into folks you know with that much involvement!

So a thank you to all those parent coaches and volunteers out there for helping to provide our kids with an opportunity to get involved and have the joy of being part of a team. With 88 teams that’s a lot of coaches needed! You’re helping to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Enjoy the end of the season, and remember that registration for the Spring season runs November 1 – 15th.
