| Hunter Soccer Club Donates to Guatemala !! | |
Hunter Soccer Club is now in Guatemala. Coaches and parents collected gently used soccer gear at the 2011 Jack Walsh Tournament for an organization called Peace Passers (www.peacepassers.org). Peace Passers collects and distributes new and used donated soccer gear worldwide to those in need. As you can see by these photos (https://www.facebook.com/peacepassers), Hunter has made it to Guatemala. Kudos to those who helped on this effort. Look for the donation tent in 2012! |

| Sportsmanship is our Practice, Soccer is our Game | |
Hunter is one of the old, non-profit clubs in the Delaware Valley and is one of the original founding clubs of the Intercounty Soccer League. We are developing a new comprehensive player training and development program to build on our current intramural station training program. We will taylor coach and player training to appropriate age and gender needs, all based on established NSCAA guidelines. Hunter tries to blend the teaching of individual skills while at the same time instructing team tactics and strategies in the playing of the game. There is great emphasis on team work, comradery, sportsmanship and discipline. We try to blend all of the above together with a backdrop of fun. |

| Brief History of Hunter Soccer Club | |
 Hunter Soccer Club began in 1962 as a response to a
call for physical fitness from the President of the United States,
at the time, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Originally called St. Luke's
Soccer Club, it was made up of a group of Cub Scouts under the leadership
of John Hunter.
John Hunter, a native born Scotsman, came to this country with a love of soccer. He took St. Luke's Cub Scouts and utilized Abington High School's fields and taught them the game of soccer with a volleyball. Mr. Hunter received support from Episcopal Academy when they sent Mr. Hunter their discarded shorts, shoes and equipment. He, along with Hans Peters, helped form an Intercounty Soccer League some 40 years ago. Hunter Soccer Club - 220 Houston Avenue - Glenside, Pennsylvania 19038 |
