Frequently Asked Questions about Hayward United
What ages can participate?
4 to 18 years
What age group/team should my player be in?
You can check this birth year chart through WYSA. Group by the even number.
How do I register my player?
We use a software called Playmetrics for club registrations. This platform is used by the state’s soccer association (WYSA) to manage all member clubs.
Are there registration discounts?
Early Bird Registration: a duration of days at the beginning of the registration period.
Siblings: after the initial player, each additional sibling player will receive a $10 discount.
Are Hayward United teams coed?
We aim to have teams for each gender in each age group, but when needed for numbers, teams could be combined. Co-ed teams or co-op teams with nearby towns may be used.
How many seasons are there?
The soccer year runs from August 1 to July 31. Within that year, there are 3 seasons for players to participate: Fall Soccer, Winter Futsal & Spring Soccer.
How long are the seasons?
Fall Soccer: August to mid-October
Winter Futsal: Late November to March
Spring Soccer: April to mid-June
Do I need to order a uniform for my player?
Traveling Team Players (10U and older) will be loaned two Game Jerseys with registration. These jerseys are owned by the Club. Players will provide their own black shorts and black soccer socks.
In-house Recreation Team Players (8U and younger) do not need to purchase a uniform but are welcome to purchase apparel from the club store if you desire.
Check with the club registrar(s) for possible extra items in inventory.
Why are the Traveling teams more expensive than the In-house Recreation?
Registration for Traveling Teams is higher because of tournament entry fees, referee fees, higher insurance rates for traveling and included costs of two Game Jerseys.
What do players need for practice?
For practices, please dress your player for the weather. Players need shin guards, soccer socks, soccer ball, tennis shoes or cleats, athletic bottoms* & t-shirt or sweatshirt.
*Please, do not wear jeans to practice.
What size ball do I need?
8U and younger (Ages 4-8): Size 3 (Junior)
9U – 12U: Size 4 (Youth)
13U and older: Size 5 (Adult/Professional)
Why does registration end so early before the season?
Registration ends early because we are required by WYSA to submit accurate information about players and teams for scheduling.
How can I volunteer?
We have multiple volunteer opportunities for parents and families to get involved with Hayward United. You can find details about these positions on our volunteering page. Sign up for a volunteer/coaching position through Playmetrics when you register your player(s).
