The Hoboken City Futbol Club strives to challenge players to realize their highest potential through intensive training and team competition.
The Hoboken City Futbol Club is for players who are interested in playing soccer at a more competitive level than the City’s Recreation program. The HCFC teams compete in the Northern County Soccer Association (www.ncsanj.com). Travel teams play in the fall and spring against teams from northern New Jersey and Rockland County and in addition, many teams also participate in tournaments several time
s a season as well as off season indoor leagues. Travel players practice a minimum of two days a week and compete on weekends. The travel program constantly challenges players to realize their highest potential through intensive training and competition. The goal of the travel program is to:
• Enhance the player’s technical and tactical skills through a competitive team environment so they can effectively compete at an advanced level.
• Foster a winning attitude based on sportsmanship.
• Have fun and make the experience positive and memorable.
• Develop a life long love for the game. Players are selected and placed on teams based on assessments from independent evaluators during “tryouts” and from their coach and trainer evaluations. Tryouts for an upcoming season are conducted in mid-May. Any player wanting to be considered for a team must tryout and returning players are not guaranteed a spot on a team. Every player of proper age is permitted to tryout for a travel team. Selection to a team invokes a COMMITMENT on the part of the player to attend all practices, games, tournaments etc. and to participate in both the fall and spring seasons and any off season leagues/tournaments as deemed by the coach. Teams are established based on gender at the U-7, U-8 and up levels (U=Under) and are based upon the player’s age as of the calendar year. The HCFC is open to, but not limited to Hoboken residents.
