The first step in becoming a member of a HASA team is to fill out and submit a registration form with the appropriate fee during the registration period. For Recreational teams, teams are filled on a first come, first served basis making it important to register as early as possible. For Select and Premier teams, along with registering, players must participate in a tryout.

No. HASA teams have players not only from Howell, but from all over Livingston County and surrounding counties as well. HASA teams have no geographical eligibility requirements. There are also no extra fees for players not living in Howell.(top)

Players participate in soccer for different reasons. The following are rough guidelines to use when considering what type of team a player may be suited for. Recreational: Beginning players, younger players, players who do not desire higher competition, players who have not yet mastered or are further away from mastering a majority of soccer skills for their age group.

Ans: A specialized class "is" a specialization of another class and, therefore, has the ISA relationship with the other class. This relationship is best implemented by embedding an object of the Salary class in the Employee class.
