Updated March 28th, 2024

 

SPRING BREAK

If you are  traveling for spring break, please remember that we have a SATURDAY game on March 30th at the beginning of Spring Break, and then we have a SUNDAY game at the end of Spring Break on April 7th.  That will allow some people who are traveling and returning home on Saturday, April 6th to make the Sunday games on April 7th. 


We often have games that are short-handed during that week.  Even if your team has fewer than enough players to field a game, we can often have a game played with one team "loaning" players to the other team for a particular game, and one of the sides will wear pinnies to set them apart. 

If you will miss either of those games or the practice during the spring break week, please let your coach know, so they can plan accordingly. 

PICTURE DAY WAS MARCH 23RD

Saturday, March 23rd was Picture Day.   If any player was missing on team picture day, we will make every attempt to take an individual retake of that player on a later date, cut them out, and add them to the original picture to try to get everyone in the pic. 

To see the process, click the link below.

TeamShirt Theme:   HYR Eats 

 This season, the theme is another one that involves food. The inspiration was from the HYR Fall of 2018 “adjective vegetables” theme applied to division 5 and 6 that season.   If you want a look at all of the shirts for the entire league, please click the document directly below:

hyr 2024 spring soccer t-shirt theme and pictures.pdf


If your player does not have a team shirt that fits, please check with your coach to see if they have ordered it from Patrick yet. 

SeveralParents have asked if they could order a shirt with the team logo on it.  If anyone wants to order a shirt to be the fan club for their team, please contact the T-shirt shop on Bardstown Road called "Dirty Tease".  They have all of the spring designs on file, so if you tell them the name of your team and what you are lookoing for, they can hook you up, and I will not be the middle man on that.   Send an email to [email protected].

HYR Spring Soccer Game Schedule

HYR Soccer Equipment: 

HYR provides a T-shirt, and you pretty much provide the rest.  Please review HYR Soccer list of equipment below.

All practices and games are at Atherton High School 3000 Dundee Road.

Most practices are scheduled for Monday through Thursday night at Atherton.

What is Hill Rolling?

During Spring and Fall soccer, the Atherton campus has these glorious hills between the field levels.  Kids have always rolled down the hills for fun, so in 2017, we formalized it. At noon on game days, the director blows an air horn, in between the division 2 and division 3 fields, and kids and adults come from across any field to roll down the hill for a couple minutes.  It’s sort of a reminder that soccer is just a game, and we are all there to just have a little fun.  And like in the last question, just roll with it.  (Pun intended)

HYR Language Group

As HYR expands to serve more families where English is not the first language of either the parents or the children, we are looking to find out how we can better communicate with them in print and in-person.  As a start, we have added some language-related questions to our registration forms for both players, parents,  and coaches.  We are looking to establish a small working group in our HYR community that will help us study and improve our communications with families where English is not their first language.   If you are interested in helping HYR in that regard,please contact Patrick Fitzgerald:  [email protected]

ACTION SHOTS FROM HYR Game Day:

We had a high school photographer come to the fields on Saturday, September 23rd and take action shots of the kids playing.  They were only available on that day from 11 AM – 1 PM, but there are a couple hundred really nice action shots.   They are mostly of the following teams:  Division 1 Crum, Division 2 Hopper, Division 2 Franklin, Division 2 Watt, Division 2 Carver, Division 2 Bhatt, Division 2 Walker, Division 2 Bath, Division 2 Lee, Division 3 Gutenberg, Division 3 Morse, Division 3 Benjamin, Division 4 Whitney, Division 4 Volta, Division 5 Lumiere, Division 5 Tesla, Division 5 Jackson, and Division 5 Woods.  There is a link to those photos on our team picture page:

HYR Picture Day was Saturday, September 23rd

After the games on Saturday, September 23rd, we took team pictures.  For players or coaches who missed on that day, we come to subsequent games to capture individual pictures, and then we clip out those players and coaches and insert them into the team pictures.   To see the process, click the link below.

CLEAT EXCHANGE
Every season, we collect used cleats and shin guards from players who outgrow their equipment, and that equipment will be available  to any other HYR family on a first come-first served basis.  We will set up a couple tables at all of the first week practices and all the games.  We repurpose hundreds of used items every season.  Over the summer people dropped off 29 pairs of cleats ranging in size from kids size 10 to adult size 11.  There are also 13 pairs of shin guards and various socks and shorts.   At each practice, cleats and shin guards will be dropped off and picked up, so if you are looking for that perfect Cinderalla fit and it is not there, it might show up 5 minutes later or the next day or not at all, but it is worth a shot. 

Team Name Theme and shirt colors - Inventors and Innovators

At HYR, we typically do not have team names that are the same as college or pro teams, so no Cardinals or Tigers, etc.  We often lean toward some sort of educational or fun theme that is not a typical team name.  In the fall of 2023, the team name theme is Inventors and Innovators.  There are 57 team shirt designs active this season.  To see a glimpse of the shirts for your child and their peers take a look at the shirts below:

2023 hyr fall soccer team name theme description.pdf

HYR Staff
HYR has a League Director and two college student league associates for the Fall of 2023.  We will be available to help locate equipment, help players find their game times and coaches, and assist with unusual league situations.  To see our staff, click below:

Team Name Descriptions:  The team name theme this spring was musicians and composers.  Music is a huge force in my life and for a great many of us.  I was writing a description of who each musician or composer  is during the season, and I got busy and did not finish it until late in the season.  If you would care to look at who all the teams were representing, please browse it now by clicking the link below.  I hope some of the players and parents have enjoyed figuring it out and listening to their team's inspiration or may take that opportunity now.   Or maybe later in life they will discover an artist and realize it was on their shirt when they were younger.

(RE: the $94 Registration fee: Effective January 1, 2023, The Kentucky State Legislature passed a bill stating that leisure, recreational, and athletic instructional services are subject to sales tax. For HYR Spring Soccer, that is broken out as an $88.67 Registration fee plus $5.33 KY State Sales Tax. )



HYR Equipment Collection And Distribution -
Every season, HYR collects gently used cleats and helps them find a new home on the feet of a new player.  We were largely cleaned out in the fall of 2022, but people continue to donate them.  We will not have a cleat and equipment exchange the weekend of March 11-12, but we will set up all inventory at all the first practices and at the first 2 games of the season. 

HYR Team Shirt theme for Spring, 2023:
The theme for the fall teams is musicians and composers.  Imagine from Beethoven to Lizzo, and anything in between.  We try very hard to have a wide representation and inclusion of classics, modern artists and diversity of gender race, national origin, etc. Music will fit that goal perfectly because of the diversity of amazing musicians and composers. Super psyched!

That's a wrap for 2022 fall soccer. 

The winner of the HYR T-shirt quilt is Theo Ward fro the team Finger Painters in the Parent Player Academy.  

Thanks to everyone who donated to the HCM drive collection food and personal care products.   We really appreciate the HYR community's generosity in donating over 9 bins of items to the HCM food bank. 

The team pictures and awards  were handed out on closing day.  If you were not present on team day, HYR will make them available to you.  The majority of coaches took the left over pics and awards with them and will be contacting players to let them know how to pick them up from the coaches.  About 5 teams' awards were turned in to HYR, and we will send out a note to those players to let them know how to pick up their awards from the HYR Director.  

We have posted all of the team photos on a Google Drive Folder linked below.  You can view or download an electroinc copy of your team photo there as well.

HYR Team Shirt theme for fall 2022
The theme for the fall teams is visual art.  For many of the younger players, their team names will be based on types of art or public art and architecture.  For older players, we focus on visual artists themselves and some of their works.  We tried very hard to have a wide representation and inclusion of classics, modern artists and diversity of gender race, national origin, etc.  To see a sneak preview of the artwork, click below.

Team Name Themes for 2022 Fall Soccer
We do have an over 5-year tradition of unusual team names.  My basic rules tend to be not to use any team name that is in use by professional and college teams (bulldogs, tigers, etc.), never repeat team  names (We have now gone over 5 years without a repeat), and have the team names be fun, and occasionally informative. 
In the fall of 2022, the team names will be based on visual art. Stay Tuned for more details.

LOCATION - ATHERTON HIGH SCHOOL:    For all players registered, all practices and games are at Atherton High School.  There are 2 entrances to Atherton.  Please look at the map below.  The GPS is 3000 Dundee Road .  HYR has been requested to park in the teacher parking lot.  (If you pull in by the gymnasium and the tennis courts, you are at the wrong entrance.)  Please park only in approved parking spaces.
