Welcome to the Penn Legacy Academy Program!
Hempfield Soccer Club is pleased to announce that beginning in Fall 2010 the Under 8 program will enjoy added enhancements designed to incorporate even more fun activities and skills for the club's youngest players. Under the direction of professional coach Gary “Rossi” Ross, the Academy Director, the program will feature additional support for players and volunteer coaches from the Penn Legacy travel coaching staff. The Penn Legacy staff will provide training and support to our highly valued volunteer parent coaches throughout the season and also assist with creative sessions with the players.

The soccer club remains centrally focused on and committed to the dual objectives of creating a fun experience and instilling a love of the game. We sincerely believe that our commitment to offer the finest programs and value to over 1500 youth within our Recreation and Travel programs make us "More than a Club.”

The new name – Penn Legacy Academy – continues the evolution of Hempfield Soccer Club as we enhance our programs and reach out to larger audiences. We feel the name change for the Under 8 program allows us to better communicate the partnership with our experienced travel staff of Penn Legacy. Our goal remains the same -- to create a sound base of skills and offer appropriate playing opportunities for players of all interests and abilities. Please join us this fall season for another exciting season at A. Herr Park. We invite you and your family to be part of the “Tradition of Excellence” this club has provided to thousands of players since 1977.

Please take a moment to read a letter from our Club President regarding this program.
