• 1.  What is the Huntertown Lions Soccer Club?
   
  • This is a recreational/instructional youth soccer club hosted by the Huntertown Lions Club.
     
• 2.  How long has the club been in existence?
   
  • We have been playing organized soccer for over 18 years.
     
• 3.  I don't live in Huntertown, in fact, not even Allen County -- can my child still play at Huntertown?
   
  • We are open to any child who wishes to play.  We do not have boundaries.
     

• 4.  When & where are the practices?  What about the games?
   
  • Practices are set by the team coach, but are typically for one hour on weekday evenings during the Fall & Spring season.  Practices run during the playing seasons and for the 2 or 3 weeks prior to season starts.  Games are hourly on Saturdays from about 8:00 AM until about 2:00 PM.  Each team typically has only one game each Saturday.  ALL PRACTICES AND GAMES TAKE PLACE AT THE SOCCER FIELDS BEHIND HUNTERTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.  Click HERE and/or HERE for MAPS.
     

• 5.  Is this a travel league?
   
  • While our club is focused on instruction and recreational play, it's not uncommon for a travel team called the Huntertown Hurricanes to be organized from our players.  Contact Cris Dillman for more information..
     
• 6.  How much does it cost to play in the league?
   
  • We make every effort to be affordable and accommodating for all interested players while also avoiding the continuous plague of fundraising sales, etc.  The cost for the Fall and Spring seasons is $65 with the opportunity for coaching parents to reduce that fee to $45.  Special needs are handled on a case by case basis by the Soccer Board.
     
• 7.  Does the fee cover play in BOTH the Fall and Summer Seasons?
   
  • YES!!
     
• 8.  With whom is the Club affiliated - The Plex?
   
  • We are a member of the Indiana Youth Soccer Association (indianayouthsoccer.org).  While we encourage players to build their skills through the Indoor Soccer season at The Plex and throughout the year with other quality playing venues, Huntertown Soccer is not affiliated with nor does it explicitly endorse The Plex.
     
• 9.  What factors should I consider when deciding to sign my daughter up for an all girls team or on a Co-ed team?
   
  • If your daughter leans more toward the side of being delicate and/or is primarily interested in a lot of playing time in a more genteel atmosphere, we recommend an all girls team.  However, if you and your daughter desire a more challenging and perhaps rougher level of play, she is certainly welcome to participate on an age appropriate co-ed team.
     
• 10. What process does a person have to go through to become a referee or a linesman for the Huntertown Soccer league?
   
  • Referee training typically takes place during the first quarter of each calendar year.  We ask that referees be at least 13 years and 6 months old.  Referees are required to undergo 16 hours of training and must then pass a 100 question exam.  Cost of the training and exam is $55.  Contact Mike Pressler at 484-2463 during late Autumn for more information or to sign up.
     
• 11. I've talked to a coach and she wants my child on her team, can we simply register and join that team?
   
  • With more than 500 kids playing soccer each season and with our focus on the children and their families having a good experience with our club, it's a little more complicated than that.  We need to ensure that the number of players on each team is balanced.  We also must be certain that we have enough uniforms in the right colors for each child.  These are just two of many reasons why we need all roster changes to pass through our Registrars.  They can be reached here.
