Joining a Team

HASL does not guarantee that you will be able to join a team. That decision is between you and the individual team much like in a professional league. However, researching this web site is a big advantage. Generally, there are three paths you can use to join a team. We recommend you try as many as possible or a combination.

• If a season is currently being played, attend a few games as a spectator. The games are free and it will only cost you time. Everyone is very approachable so you can walk right up and talk with the captains and the teams. Face-to-face is a very solid step to getting on a team. You can find out when and where teams are playing through our web site.
• Contact the captain of the team you want to join via e-mail, phone, or in person. You can access team information using this web site. More than likely, you (and the team) will want to practice together a few times to see if there is a good match. If so, you and the captain can go about getting registered. If not, try another team.
• Send, to the Player Pool, a brief soccer bio of yourself with contact info and any preferences such as preferred playing positions and which divisions you prefer to play in (ex. rec players don't need to play in the Premiership). HASL will put you on the player pool list and send this list to all the captains in the league. Captains needing a player with your experience or interests may call you.
