Members,

From our soccer family to yours, we hope you are all safe and healthy. Moving forward HYSL and its board members have decided to still hold our Spring  season raffle, therefore any raffle tickets that were sold will still be in a drawing for a prize. We encourage anyone still with raffle tickets, to sell them to friends and family in order to reimburse yourself the cost of Spring registration. If you were able to sell tickets the drawing will be held Sunday, June 28, 2020. Drawing winners will be contacted via telephone to set up a time to pick up their prizes. Along with that the board will be issuing full refunds for parking passes that were purchased for spring season.
As many of you know Hanford Youth Soccer League is a non-profit organization. Our only sources of income are player registration, parking,concession and sponsorships.Registration fees cover :  

Uniforms- $20/season

Player Insurance - $15/season

Coach Background checks - $15/coach 

Lease $25,500

Mowing/repairs $38,000

Utilities $39,000

Referees $15,000/season

Paint/nets/flags $5000

 
Due to the fact that we have already incurred most of these expenses, we are sorry to inform our members that we  cannot issue any cash refunds. What we CAN do is offer a 53% refund in the form of a Fall season credit of $40. If you were not able to sell tickets, you will be able to get a $40 credit for the Fall season, however ALL raffle tickets must be returned to be eligible for the $40 credit. For Fall season registration, HYSL board has decided to have two dates that will allow parents the opportunity for an in person drive thru registration, the dates and location are as follows:

270 Gilkey Lane.
Saturday June 27th from 10:00am - 12:00pm
Wednesday July 15th 6:00pm-8:00pm 

We  truly  understand  parents feeling upset with the league’s decision, but we are asking for your understanding and help during this pandemic. HYSL has not increased prices for several years now, despite the  cost of operations rising, therefore it has caused somewhat of a financial strain on the league.  The board has diligently tried to keep prices the same year after year in an attempt to keep as many kids as possible involved in soccer. We sincerely hope you understand what is at stake here. Thank you for your support and understanding. As the state begins to open up we are looking forward to this fall season being a complete success. Online registration is now open and can be completed at clubs.bluesombrero.com/hanford. Once again, we hope you all remain safe, happy, and healthy and we hope to see you all during this Fall soccer season
