FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Size Soccer Ball Does My Player Need?

What Program is Best for My Player?

Our County Program is built to facilitate all skill levels, to include beginner players. We ensure placement is appropriate for the level of skill and experience. Our evaluations process is key to the successful placement of all players, so please check our website and Facebook pages for the next scheduled evaluation dates. For more advanced/dedicated players, we offer our Elite Select program to targeted age groups.



When Will I Find Out What Team My Player Is Rostered On?

Approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the start of the season, you will be contacted by your player's coach regarding practices and team events. The only time there would be a delay in contact is if we are still in need of a coach for your player's team.



What Days of the Week are Games and Practices?

Games are played primarily on Saturdays during the Fall Season, and Sundays during the Spring Season. There are always exceptions to this rule, so please be flexible on the weekends! Our volunteer coaches establish practice times based on their schedule, and based on discussions with the team. We cannot gaurantee specific days of the week, but will do our best to accomodate your schedule if we can.



Where are Practices Held?

We use a variety of fields in the Glen Burnie area to maximize practice space for our teams. Our home fields are Corkran Middle School, but we also use fields at Oakwood Elementary School, Marley Middle School, Marley Elementary School, Glen Burnie High School, Southgate-Old Mill Park, North Glen Park, Glendale Elementary School, Bachman Sports Complex, and others as they become available.



How Far Is the Travel for Harundale Youth Soccer Teams?

Will My Player Stay On the Same Team from Season to Season?

Athough we try to keep players together, there are many factors that impact our ability to to do so. In the lower levels of competition, we do try and keep players on the same team. For upper level competition teams, there are many times that players may move up or down based on progression and development.



Do I Pay for Uniforms Every Season?

For our Rec "In House" Program, players will receive uniforms each season. For the Rec Program, players receive Adidas Entrada jersey, Parma shorts and Copa Zone socks. For our Elite Select and County Programs, we have a set uniform kit (2 jerseys, pair of shorts, and socks) that are required for initial purchase. This uniform kit can be used from season to season, and only requires replacing when an item does not fit or worn/torn/etc. There is a separate link to submit your uniform orders (https://harundaleyouthsoccer.com/uniforms). After submission, you will recieve an email with the payment information for uniforms. Please pay this promptly, as uniforms will not be ordered through our vendor/distributed until this is paid in full.
