Club President
Established in 1991, the Hempstead EOC Soccer Club (HEOCSC)
The long term vision of the Hempstead Soccer Club is to use the technical, tactical skills, disciplines, and philosophies associated with the sport of soccer as a way to instill the confidence, motivation, and desire necessary to deal with life’s opportunities and challenges. We hope to enable our youth to excel in their endeavors and ultimately become responsible, accomplished, and professional citizens with a deep sense of integrity.
Through their involvement in soccer, Youth will learn the meaning of determination, dedication, and values that transcend beyond the soccer field to real life situations. This will enable them to make positive decisions and choices that can result in a profound impact on their lives and society as a whole.
