Hampden Youth Soccer Program
The Hampden Soccer Program offers Spring & Fall Teams for kids of all ages. Registrations for the Fall Season take place between May & mid June and the Spring Season Registrations are from December to mid January. Dates will be announced as the registration periods approach.
Kindergarten kids will participate in an in-town instructional program that takes place on Saturday Mornings. These sessions are run by volunteering parents. We encourage all parents to join in and participate with the group. In the Spring we run this program back to back with the T-Ball Program so that kids interested in participating in both can do so
1st & 2nd Grade children will be participating in the Hampden / East Longmeadow League. Your children will be placed on a team with fellow Hampden 1st & 2nd Graders.
There are separate divisions for Boys & Girls. You will play 1 to 2 games per week. There is usually 10 – 12 games per season along with practices as scheduled by the coach. This is considered an instructional league and no records are kept.

These are competitive games played on a modified field. Kids will have 1 to 2 games per week along with practices as scheduled by the coaches. There are approx. 14 games to a season. At the end of the season there is a jamboree for the kids. Here the kids will play 3 games against other surrounding teams and receive medals to remember their experience. This league is still considered instructional and no official records are kept.
