The Hastings Soccer Club is a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of soccer within the Village of Hastings and surrounding community. The Club anticipates over 140 players, both boys and girls, for this season playing in the Under 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 age categories. All players are registered with the East Central Ontario Soccer Association (ECOSA).
HISTORY The Hastings Soccer Club has existed since its inception in 19??. Our purpose is, with community support, to provide a safe and enjoyable soccer program for our children and youth. Our coaches and managers are dedicated volunteers who contribute many hours to help assist our local youth. Our referees are certified by the East Central Ontario Soccer Association (ECOSA). We recognize the importance of regular physical activity, family encouragement, and community support in the normal growth and development of healthy children.
ORGANIZATION The Club is governed by a Constitution which is implemented by an annually-elected executive. As a not-for-profit organization, the Executive seeks to deliver the highest quality program while maintaining a balanced budget. Members of the Executive typically have experience within the Club, have children participating in soccer, and are dedicated to developing a strong youth soccer program within the community. Regular meetings are open to all players, parents, coaches, and referees.
HASTINGS SOCCER FIELDS The home games of the Hastings Soccer Club are played at the Fowlds Millennium Park on Elgin Street in Hastings.
2007 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Hastings Soccer Club held it's Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, February 13.. Minutes of the AGM will be posted as they become available.
If you are interested in donating your valuable time to assist with the management of your son/daughter's team/Club, please contact Graham Sanders or Kathy Galbraith.
Remember - this is YOUR club and your input is valuable! As a non-profit and volunteer organization, the Hastings Soccer Club relies upon and is grateful for the continuing support of the players' families and other community members to assist with the Club and its activities and the financial support of its sponsors. The Club was very fortunate to have had a very successful year in 2006 fielding nine teams in seven age divisions and proving once again that soccer is "alive and kickin'" in the rural north of Northumberland County. Volunteer and financial support are both necessary to ensure the continuing viability of a strong youth soccer presence in Hastings. If you have a couple of hours per week to spare, additional Board members, coaches, volunteers, and supporters are always welcome.
