Spookerfest is back- Saturday, Oct 26, 2024 at Marshall Street fields from 9am-4pm. 

Spookerfest is a one-day soccer tournament for the K-4 HYSA Intramural teams. The event runs regardless of weather conditions, so count on playing all games and make sure that you and your players are dressed accordingly.

Spookerfest is a “participation” tournament and it is not intended to be in playoff format.  All teams will play two games. Games will consist of two 20 minute halves. Every player will receive an award in a presentation ceremony after their last game, so bring your cameras!  The schedule is posted here.

As Spookerfest occurs annually around Halloween, we encourage coaches, refs, players, and
parents to come dressed for the occasion and enjoy the day. This could be costumes, face
paint, cool socks, team costumes, colorful hair or anything Spooky.

Please remember that Spookerfest is a non-competitive tournament against fellow Holliston
teams. All players and families should be respectful of all players, coaches, and of our young
referees. Coaches are not responsible for watching players between games. And please keep
all children (players and siblings) from playing or climbing on any nets, either on fields or pulled
to the sides of the field out of use.

The schedule is posted here.
Look for communication from your coaches with more details. 

Parents and Friends: Please volunteer to help make this day spooktacular.

Field Rules and Clean up

As with any game or practice, please continue to observe our rules for Marshall Street.

  • Turf Fields – the maintenance and longevity of our turf fields are important to us so please follow the rules of the park, which means NO food, gum, or drinks other than water or sports drinks allowed on the fields. No tents please on turf. Please use the other grass areas for teams to enjoy their time off and for snacks and eating.
  • No pets are allowed on the complex – as you can imagine with so many children we must be strict about the no pet rule.
  • Trash – please make sure that you pick up your trash including plastic water bottles. We would like to minimize the clean-up effort after the tournament. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and courtesy. 

Concessions and Face Painting

Food and drinks will be available to purchase at the concession stand run by the HS girls soccer
as a fundraiser for the team. No food or drinks other than water and sports drinks are allowed
on the turf fields, so we ask that you take the food and concessions away from the turf fields
and enjoy the picnic area. The girls will also have a face painting booth.

Parking

Parking will be difficult all day. Carpool if you can and please leave the handicapped spots for
those in need. Please be careful in the parking lot, and if you have to park on the street proceed
with caution. Park ONLY on the eastbound (field side) of Marshall Street. Cars in other locations
will be ticketed. We want to be good neighbors, so please be considerate of Marshall Street
residents whose homes about the complex. Arriving 20 minutes before game time will allow
extra time to find parking, find the field, and warm up with their team.

Thank you all for participating and enjoy a safe and happy Spookerfest. This is a great event for HYSA and one that the players remember for a long time!

For more information, please contact your coach or age group coordinator.
