Hudson United Soccer Club Spring Recreation Program


EDP Mustang
Recreational Program

Play hard, play fair, have FUN!!

Hudson United Soccer Club 

Hudson United Soccer Club (HUSC) is a non-profit travel soccer program designed to give young soccer players an avenue to play soccer at a competitive level.  HUSC is run by volunteers from coaches to the president of the club.   HUSC has state certified trained coaches and uses professional coaching to develop the level of skills needed for our teams to compete at its highest level. 

 About our Recreational Program

 HUSC recreational program is designed to give younger players an introduction to soccer in a consistent manner to help develop their skills and more importantly to have fun while doing it.  The program is six weeks of skills and games designed for younger players to be comfortable while progressing their skills.  The first three weeks will be one set of skills and games where the last three will involve advanced skills. 

 Our recreational program is designed around the small sided game theory which is supported by US Youth Soccer.  Small sided games are designed to give players more opportunity to handle the ball in game situations.  The more touches the more comfortable players become.   The more comfortable a player is the better that player will develop.  Our games are 4v4 that is four players vs. four players with no goal keepers. 

 HUSC recreational program is also designed to develop coaching.  Each team will have a parent coach and a HUSC coaching mentor (this can vary depending on team numbers).  Parents are required to participate in a training session where they will go through the same training program as our players. It is our belief that you can’t coach what you have not experienced.  Going through the training exercise will give a coach more in site on how to train the players.  On game day the HUSC mentor will assist in running the practices and coaching the game.
