Registration Update
Our new website is under construction and will remain that way for the early part of summer. However, it will be active and we will use it to register for fall sports. IMPORTANT: registration for fall soccer, fall volleyball, and fall running club will all open prior to the school year ending. That means the week of May 20th, jump on it and register your kid
. Don’t be the mom or dad that returns to school after thinking you just rocked summer only to realize you missed registration. It would likely cause a ripple effect that your child might never recover from. So get on it early people!! = )
We must submit all registrations to the soccer and volleyball leagues by mid July. Therefore accepting late registrations when we return will be near impossible.

Eagle of the Week
We are winding down and we have 3 amazing Eagle of the Week nominations and I just couldn’t choose one! And so, let’s celebrate these awesome Eagles together:
Lilah Perry:
She showed tremendous perseverance in a game Saturday against our rival, Kilgour. Lilah was forced out of the game in the 2nd quarter with an elbow to the neck. Despite being upset and in pain, she stepped up to play goalie in the third quarter. Not only did she play but she played spectacularly with multiple saves to preserve a hard fought 0-0 tie. Thanks for being a great teammate Lilah!!
Asher Perry:
Asher is always working very hard. He hustles, he sweats, he is always engaged and listening to coaches. He cheers for and advises his teammates and is a true leader both on and off the field. We are proud to have him on our team and as part of the HPS athletic program
(Big week in the Perry household!)

Riya Pasare
: This is her first year playing soccer. Many would find it challenging to play their first year at the U10 level, but not Riya. She hit the ground running and has been getting stronger and stronger week after week. Riya is a solid defender, never backs down from a challenge, is a trusted teammate and is a pleasure to coach. She listens, works hard ever practice and plays with passion. Thank you for giving it your all Riya!

HPS Soccer Camp with Jack Hermans

The half day session will conclude at 12:00, while the full day session will run until 3:00. This is a private camp for HPS students only and a great way to meet back up with friends and improve those soccer skills prior to the fall season. The camp will be held at the Fairfax Rec Fields located at 3921 Southern Ave (next to the Fairfax swimming pool) The cost of the camp is $89 for half day and $109 for full day. Please visit Blue Sombrero to register ASAP:
