2020 Team Formation Meeting May 19, 2020

HSA Hierarchy 7th oldest Association in the state Established in 1970

Who are we?  HSA Select is the youth select soccer program for the Highline Soccer Association  We are a middle ground between premier and recreational soccer  We provide a cost-effective alternative for the soccer experience that balances the commitment of time and money with an opportunity to learn the skills necessary to play competitive soccer as well as compete in other sports at a high level

What do we value?  HSA Select values hard work, commitment, and excellence both on and off of the field  We believe that a player's commitment to training sessions and games will not only help the program's success, but will also contribute to the individual’s personal ability to continually improve, as well as to each team's quality of play  Athletes play soccer to have fun, to learn, to develop a passion for the game, and to improve their skills. In doing so, they represent their team, coach, parents and community.  HSA Select expects its players to maintain a high level of sportsmanship and fair play  Players must show respect for the game, the coach, teammates, opponents, and the authority of the referee and his/her assistants
