The old guys still love to play

Haverford Soccer Club is proud to bring soccer to the youth in our community. The organization is made up of volunteer coaches, managers, board members and others who have a true love of the sport. In fact, many of the club’s coaches and adult volunteers still play the game. U14 Heat Coach Dave Richards plays for the Oakmont Celtics, an over-35 team sponsored by the Oakmont Pub in Havertown. The Team will play this Fall at YSC in Wayne in the Open Men’s League and during the Spring and Summer they play in an O35 League at the Phelps School in Malvern.

Additionally, nearly 25 men aged 19 to 65 play every Sunday in a friendly game called "World Cup Sunday" and have been doing so for over 10 years. The pickup game is made up of HSC coaches and includes former HSC players who played in the HSC as far back as when the club was first founded. It is a great way to keep playing opportunities available in a fun, open playing format long after high school. Several of the Oakmont Celtics started at the "World Cup Sunday" Pickup Game.
