HFC United Indoor Soccer League-Overview of Rule & Guidelines

HFC United's co-ed recreational Indoor Soccer League is one of the most popular, and anticipated, programs each March and April. The indoor soccer league has its roots starting over 25 years ago when Hastings Youth Athletic Association (HYAA) ran soccer programing in Hastings.

In mid-March, when hockey season winds down, the City of Hastings installs flat, turf-like placement over one of the hockey rinks surface. Games are fast-paced, usually high scoring, and is a good warm-up for competitive travel soccer players as the Minnesota spring season is as unpredicable as its winter season.

Registration Notes/Reminders

⚽  NOTE: Number of teams per league will be based on numbers registered on February 29, 2024. Late registrations (after 2/29/2024 deadline) will be accepted until the team spots are full. The indoor soccer page will show updates on spots remaining, and the registration will allow placement on a waiting list.

⚽ Friend requests will not be accepted, but parents may request siblings be on same team (if in same division) and carpool requests for players from further away (i.e., Cannon Falls, Red Wing, etc.)

⚽  High School and Adult League captains: We have a male and female captain for each team, so please note if you'd like to be a captain on the registration form. Captains choose the teams!

⚽ Elementary & Middle School division coaches: High school players will be given a choice on your registration forms to note if you'd like to be a coach for a younger team. If high school students are not playing, but would like to help coach an elementary or MS team, contact Ceil Strauss.

⚽  Information on teams, schedules, & practice and game times will be available mid-March at HFC United’s Indoor Soccer page.

⚽  Financial Assistance is available to those who qualify, on or before 02/29/2024.

HOW TEAMS ARE FORMED & NEED FOR COACHES FOR GRADES 1-8:

1. Grade 1-8 Divisions: Coaches* for the teams in each division (Grades 1/2, Grades 3/4, Grades 5/6 & Grades 7/8) pick the teams. We also get as much input as possible from those familiar with player skill levels in each division (i.e., from travel team coaches, our travel director and director of coaching). We do our best to select balance teams based on skill levels. Other factors include:

• The number of boys and girls will be balanced as much as possible on the teams.
• Every effort is made to honor family requests for siblings to be on the same team and carpool requests for players with longer drives (e.g., Cannon Falls, Red Wing, Ellsworth).
• For the older divisions, coaches try to have players they know are willing to be goalies on each team.

* Coaches for grades 1-8 divisions are high school student volunteers for as many teams as possible. With the success of the indoor program, and the growing number of teams, we will likely also need some parent coach volunteers. Both high school players and parents can note interest in coaching when registering for the indoor coed rec soccer program. If a high school student is not playing this year, or a parent missed the spot to note coaching interest, email Indoor Coed Rec Coordinator Ceil Strauss to note interest.

Note: Being an indoor coed rec soccer coach can count for the required volunteer hours for HFC travel families or for service hours (i.e., for HS National Honor Society, church-related requirements, etc.).

2. High School Division: High School player captains pick the teams. We have a boy and girl captain for each team (if enough captain volunteers). Within a few days of the registration deadline the captains choose the teams. Other factors considered:

• The number of boys and girls on each team are balanced as much as possible.
• Every effort is made to honor family requests for siblings to be on the same team and carpool requests for players with longer drives (e.g., Cannon Falls, Red Wing, Ellsworth).
• Note that some captains focus on skill levels and others focus on having a "fun" team. If a player didn't like the team balance last season, volunteer to be a captain this season!

3. Young Adult Division: Captain volunteers will pick teams within a few days of the registration deadline. However, if we only have enough players for two teams, each player will get two shirts and we'll plan to adjust the players at the beginning of each game based on players present.
