Hello, and welcome to Hinshaw Soccer Academy's 2011 Fall Session.
The big news for the fall is that we have expanded to two age groups. We are excited to be adding Dan Rufner to the coaching staff as he brings a wealth of experience to our Academy program. Coach Jeremy will be remaining with the "little Booters" (U4) and Coach Dan will be with the older "Booters" group (U8).
We are also appreciative to the Alaska Northstars and for their allotment of Dome time for the Fall and Winter sessions.
For those new to the HSA, here is some info on what to expect:
Each training session will contain the following components - physical play, individual ball skills, team building skills, team play. Parent involvement is also expected and necessary for a successful training session. The U4 group contains a wide age and ability range, and we need your help to engage your child. Don't be discouraged if your child is not interested in everything going on, that will develop with familiarity and repetition. Taking a break to 'refocus' is normal and encouraged for the well being of all children involved. Embrace the fun elements and try not to force those things that the child is resistant to, but keep them attentive and in the training area if possible as the proximity to activity will familiarize the child for future sessions. Training activities will be quick paced and fun to keep the interest of the children. Most children will not turn professional after one academy program, it will most likely take at least two...
In the U8 age group most children have played soccer before. Activities will be a bit more focused, and will still be built off of the four pillars of soccer: technical, tactical, physical, and psychological components. Team play will also be a key component for development. Parents will be called upon at times to participate in activities to help 'spread' the instruction. Also, times of redirection may be necessary at times for young players.
We are excited to begin a new session. Here are the specifics:
Where - Alaska Dome, south endzone field.
When - Fridays, beginning October 7th, 6-7pm.
What to bring - soccer ball (size 3), shin guards, water, shoes to run in, $75 payment (cash or check to Alaska Northstars). We will also have a waiver for you to sign. Academy t-shirts will be distributed at the first practice.

little BOOTERS interest list
Hello friends and family!
Tiffany and I thought that instead of paying someone else to coach our son and trying to get all his friends/family coordinated to be on the same team that we could easily just do our own thing, and so Hinshaw Soccer Academy was born.
I'm excited about the possibility of pulling this off. I think it'd be a great time to not only get the kids together in a constructive way, but to also see and hang out with each other. This is such a great time in our lives as we raise young children and I am so glad to be able to share it with all of you. This is just another way to build community for our young families.
Please check out the flyer below or under the more info sidebar and if interested please comment below with what day/time would best work and indicate how many children. I'd like to get started by early June and run through the end of July. We will work primarily on beginning ball skills, playing together, and active fitness. Many of the drills will involve you and your child working together so come ready to play yourself. Please also let me know if you can help bring snacks, volunteer coach, or some other capacity I haven't thought of yet.
Because of licensing and insurance concerns (there is none yet) this Academy is open by invite only. Please contact me if you'd like more info.
