• Boys 5/6 Soccer Team 1 tied its final game at home against Pembroke Team 2 with a score of 1-1. Will McCarthy scored Hull’s only goal, and the whole team put up a good fight to end the spring season. Andy Michaelides, Jordan Dunn, Killian Kelly, Liam Palermo, Luke Panetta, North Saforrian, Owen Bilodeau, Ryder Lankas, Silas Van Slyke, Will McCarthy, and Zachary Shea all played their hearts out, improved their skills throughout the season, and look forward to seeing how much better they are in the fall.

• Girls 5/6 Soccer closed out the season Saturday with a hard-fought 3-3 tie against Hingham. The result was a fitting end to a year marked by steady growth and increasingly competitive play. Goals came from Charlie Ward and Willa Britton, who netted two, both finding the net off set pieces. Sharp passing and timely assists kept Hull in the match throughout, reflecting the team’s development over the course of the season.

• Girls 5/6 Lacrosse battled hard but came up short in a 12-5 loss against Weymouth on Sunday, June 7. Congratulations to Leah Dibley for scoring her first goal of the year. Frankie Rockett and Cordelia Hennessey each had two goals. Laila Dolan took the draws with ferocity and midfielders Sydney O’Brian, Maryonna McKinney, and Jacqueline Collins covered the field and made great passes against an aggressive Weymouth defense. Sienna Truglia, Ryleigh Mooney, and Emma Medina attacked Weymouth’s crease to open up shooting lanes. As always, Hailey MacLeod strapped on the pads in net to keep the game within reach while defenders Willa Britton, Julianna Moore-DaSilva, and Hadley Dolan swarmed Weymouth’s offensive efforts. The players held their heads high in defeat and showed great camaraderie and spirit to close out the regular season. Hull’s Jamboree by the Sea takes place at the turf on Sunday, June 14.

• The Hull Youth Soccer Travel registration for the fall 2026/spring 2027 season continues until June 20; this is a strict deadline and you may not be able to register your player after the deadline passes. If your child plans to play travel soccer this upcoming season, register ASAP to guarantee their spot. Travel players are required to upload an updated player photo for league rostering. Photos should be recent, similar to a passport or school photo, with a clear view of the face and no hats or sunglasses. Travel teams are boys and girls grades 3-8, and in-town teams are boys and girls, preK through second grade. Register online at www.hullyouthsoccer.com.

• The Hull Youth Football Association is excited for another great year and organizers have been working hard planning for the upcoming season. Families are asked to register as soon as possible so that HYFA can plan accordingly. As many of you know, Hull has faced challenges with numbers in the last few years. With athletes playing multiple town sports, the rise of club sports, and other activities competing for schedules, it can be very difficult and time-consuming to keep the program running. The sooner families register, the better chance there is to make all seven teams work for the 2026 season.
