Sportsmanship is our Practice, Soccer is our Game	Tournament
'Sportsmanship is our practice, Soccer is our game,' Hunter Soccer Club teaches and instructs the children of our community in the exhilarating game of soccer. 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.	The 2008 Jack Walsh Tournament was a Great Success! We had over 150 teams attending in 16 divisions. These division covered players from U9 thru U16 from 45 different soccer clubs. The 2008 Tournament was held at 6 field complexes in the Glenside, PA area. The 16 Divisional Winners and Finalists will be listed in the Tournament Section. The 2009 Jack Walsh Tournament is already in the planning stage. We hope to add additional teams and more venues. Look for updated information in the Tournament Section in the spring of 2009.
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.
