Our Goal:

For this friendly tournament, we have decided to convene a large group, including younger age group players, to evaluate the current level of our troops and propose to each player to launch the 2024 season with an evaluation of their level, then allowing us to accelerate motivation and individual progression.

Players for whom this will be their first competition at this level will evolve with stronger players, and against stronger players.
We trust all the players present, and we insist on impeccable behavior before, during, and between matches:

• fair play
• respect for hours, coaches, and partners
• level of concentration, specific to competition

Wearing a football kit means representing an identity, a family, or a way of life.

What we do not want to see before, during, and between matches:

• Players on their telephone, iPad, or another screen (can, of course, be used in case of emergency)
• Players being dispatched to the stadium: the squad has to stay together, always
• Players eating/drinking junk food: chips, BBQ, chili, soda, etc.
• Players leaving the stadium before the end of the day

What we want to see before, during, and between matches:

• Players looking at matches, analyzing previous/future adversaries
• Players listen attentively coach’s instructions
• Players stick together, wearing their kit
• Players leave the place they stayed clean, without any garbage
• Players smile, have fun, and build friendships with their partners
• Player having both kits, Red and White, clean and ready

Competition results are connected with involvement and focus. HH Football Academy image is related to the player’s behavior, on the pitch and out of the pitch.
