Play Soccer

Recreational Soccer

This is our Saturday in-house program. Children typically enter at the Pee Wee level and move on through Elementary, Junior and ultimately, Senior levels.

Travel Soccer

Players must try out for travel soccer teams. Tryouts are in May for the following season (fall and spring). Travel soccer is for the player who takes soccer more seriously. Practices are generally held two times per week. Half of the games are away (some as close as Rhinebeck or Poughkeepsie, others up to an hour away) and half of the games are played at Creek Road. Travel soccer allows children to play soccer with and against other kids who are also passionate about the game. Hyde Park currently hosts travel teams at the U9 - U19 levels. If you are interested in learning more about travel soccer, please contact Dale Meck

Select Soccer

Players who are on Travel teams can try out for the East Hudson Select Team. Select soccer is for the player who is not only passionate about the game but also plays a good game of soccer. Select soccer compliments the travel season - - tournaments and practices are usually in the winter and the summer. For information on select soccer, go to the East Hudson webpage - EHYSL.org.

ODP Soccer

This is the Olympic Development Program. Travel players may try out for the regional ODP Team. ODP also compliments the travel soccer season. Teams attend tournaments in the winter and the summer. For information on ODP soccer, go to the East Hudson webpage - EHYSL.org.

Jim Slater Memorial Scholarship Award

The Jim Slater Memorial Scholarship Award was established in the memory of Jim Slater who passed away tragically in 1991. To many adults and young people alike in our community, Jim represented the Hyde Park Soccer League; serving as president, vice-president, coach, father of his own soccer players, and a never ending source of encouragement and understanding for all. He had a vision for soccer in Hyde Park as the growing sport of excellence and well-being, of cooperation and camaraderie, and of skill and sportsmanship.

This scholarship is based on four areas of excellence:

Athletic participation in soccer,
Academic achievement,
Citizenship, and
Involvement in Hyde Park Soccer.

Field of Dreams Committee

In the spring of 2006 we began our Field of Dreams project -- our plan was to build a concession stand for our fields and, ultimately, to enhance our complex so that we will always have top-notch fields. Our initial fundraisers were so successful that by the fall of 2006 we were able to build a concessions shed. Concessions are open every Saturday and volunteers are always needed to staff the booth. Our next goal is to get water to the fields. Please choose to volunteer at concessions during games, or to offer your talents and assistance as we continue to improve our soccer complex.
