The Alamo Heights - Fort Sam Houston (AHFSH) youth soccer league was begun in the late 1970's with a goal of providing children within the Alamo Heights and Fort Sam Houston communities the opportunity to play soccer.  Since its inception, AHFSH has always welcomed players who are interested in developing their skills, as well as an appreciation for and understanding of the game of soccer.

AHFSH welcomes players from Under-5 through Under-18 who are interested in developing age-appropriate individual and team skills, positive attitudes and good sportsmanship.  The league fields "recreational", Developmental league and "competitive" teams, but our goal is to provide a league where children have fun, regardless of the level of play in which they may choose to participate.

Registration for the Spring  2012 season will open on January 1st. 

To determine your child's age group, please go to the "Age Level Chart." 

To contact your child's Age Group Commissioner go to the Board page.The Age Group Commissioner will be able to provide you with help with the online registration system.

 Congratulations to Ariana from the 01G Fire red team on being one of the '00 girls to be selected for the player training opportunties. Several Fire players past and present have been selected for ODP in the past and we look forward to Ariana's and others continued success with the ODP in the future. Well done Ari!

 Thanks to all those AHFSH players that attended the 3 Hour Christmas Camp on December 18, 2011. A great way to end the soccer year and see in the Holidays!

 Congratulations to the 00' Fire Red girls and Coach Steve Jennings as they finished in 1st place in the WD Fall Super 2 Championships.

 The girls showed great character in the final game after being 3-1 down at the half, to rally to a 4-3 win in overtime. The club is very proud. Go Fire!!!!!!

 A special mention to coach Sal Diaz for his assistance at playoffs.

For players who have signed up and are wondering when practice begins or which team they are on, here is revelant information.

Once the registration closes (early February) , the age group commisioners (see Board page for list) begin assigning players to teams.  Coaches will be given their rosters and uniforms at the Coaches' Meeting.  If a team has been formed and nobody has volunteered to serve as coach, the Age Group Commissioner will ask parents on the team to volunteer; if no volunteer is identified, the team will be eliminated, and registraton fees will be refunded.

Games for most recreational teams are scheduled to begin late February, early March. Schedules will be posted on the "Schedules" link on the left side of the home page.

If you have registered to play but have not yet heard from a team or coach, contact your Age Group Commissioner, as he/she will be in a position to identify your team and coach.

If you have any additional questions, please contact your Age Group Commissioner.

We will be accepting players for our Select teams. Please contact Steve at training@ahfsh.org
