Thank you to everyone who tried out for Varsity this year. The skill level that the Hopkins program holds is crazy high and the future is extremely bright. The Varsity Team is VERY fluid. Demotions and promotions are very real and very possible. This means that if you made the team, we expect you to continue to work hard from now until the end of the season, come to workouts and practices (which both are MANDATORY), and be ready to push yourself harder than ever before. If you didn’t make the team, keep working hard, come to workouts and practices, and prove that you can be a valuable member of the team or the team for years to come. Stay posted to the blog to hear when workouts begin and other logistical matters.
Now, your 2014-2015 Hopkins Varsity Roster.

Congratulations to all who made it. Remember, this is an OFFER to be on the Varsity team, if you accepted to be on varsity, please send me an email or text with your name and phone number so you can be added to the GroupMe. I’m looking forward to making this a season to remember with all of you. Now, let’s get to work.
2014 practices are over. 2015 practices will start in January.
Winter is for two things: -healing all injuries -getting stronger
be on the lookout for Boys and Girls workout schedules, coming soon.
All players should bring the following to every practice: cleats, a dark shirt, a WHITE (not gray) shirt, your OWN water, and a disc (if you have one). Dress for the weather. We play through all weather (if fields are playable) except thunder and lightning. Every HUrtem is responsible for being Toasty Warm, and for transporting their water/gear TO AND FROM the fields. We leave the field better than we found it
REGISTRATION:
New online forms! Click on the link below and follow the prompts.
The following Tournaments and approx dates are for PLANNING purposes only! I receive many requests for tournament dates, practice days etc... for the entire year. This is quite difficult to do however, I'm trying to inform parents/players as early as possible. I do not have exact dates/times for several events Unless our participation is marked CONFIRMED our involvement is contingent on our 'Bid' being accepted. This means players signed up accurately, parents signed up accurately and their availability to provides transportation and/or chaperone at these events.
NOTE: Many changes are happening with our 'traditional' tournament format. Events we always plan to participate at during the year have changed their dates, bid process or in one case, the tournament itself may not happen this spring. We are exploring alternate options as noted below. The list below is NOT COMPLETE. It is what I have at this time. Thanks, Debbi.
