Please read below carefully on HSC Tryout Guidelines (mandated by USSF* and NJYS*) so you know how to correctly register your child.

2017 Boys & Girls: The only birth year eligible is 2017 (no 2018 players will be allowed). 2017 players will not be allowed to play up one year.

2016-2011 Boys & Girls: All incoming 2016-2011 players in Fall 2024, are eligible to play up ONE calendar birth year age group. However, it will be required that:

(1) the player MUST attend at least one tryout in his/her calendar birth year age group. Failing to attend one tryout in the player’s birth year age group will result in that player being placed on the lowest rated team in their age group, as long as a roster spot is available.

(2) He/she may attend a second tryout for the age group that is ONE calendar birth year older. Players registering for more than one age group are doing so with the knowledge that the club will place them according to their tryout results. If a player chooses to tryout for an older age group, he/she will be placed on the highest rated team they scored on with the older age team being the tie-breaker. For example, if a 2013 player rates on both the 2013 and 2012 “A” teams, that player will be placed on the 2012 “A” team. However, if a player rates on the 2013 “A” team and the 2012 “B” team, that player will be placed on the 2013 “A” team. As in years past, teams are formed based on tryout ratings and those decisions are final. It is not a player’s choice which team they will be placed on. As a township soccer club our primary focus is making sure as many young travel players as possible have a team in Harrison SC to play for and they are placed according to their current ability. 

(3) If you intend on having your child tryout to play up one calendar year when asked during registering:  Will the player be attending tryouts in birth year +1? select yes
