- Teams will play with other associations in the West Hills United House League (WHUHL). This is a locally run grassroots league on the West side of the city that has a little more structure than our house league in U8. Each team will play approximately 50% of home games within our community and travel to the away teams for the rest, for approximately 2 games per week for a total of 20 games for the season. Most of the away teams are within 5 to 15 minutes from our community. The league is formally structured with scores, standings, and youth referees. It is still aimed at being a fun recreational but competitive league style of soccer.
- The WHUHL aims at having structured times:
- Mon/Wed for Girls: 5:30 or 6:45 p.m. start for 1.5 hours with 30-minute practice and 60-minute games.
- Tues/Thurs for Boys: 5:30 or 6:45 p.m. start for 1.5 hours with 30-minute practice and 60-minute games.
- WHUHL could have two games on some nights. In anticipation of this and the 90-minute format, we have revised the start times to 5:30 p.m. to allow for a 6:00 p.m. game start. Practices will start at 6:45 p.m. for the second game, to allow for a 7:15 p.m. game start.
- **Please note: WHUHL sets its own start times. In the past, there were some games that started at 7:15 pm.
- Final exact times will be determined when the season is setup. Each team could also have a 1.5-hour practice session flexible to meet the team’s time frames. Any additional practices are optional and decided at the team level.
- WSCR home field location will be near the Waldorf school.
- The WHUHL also has a year-end tournament (which is a lot of fun).
