In 1971, there were two men with a common dream to teach the youth of Hazlet the game of soccer. Andy and Will Rafferty began drumming up support for a sport that most Americans knew very little about. Shortly thereafter, the two became four, when Karl H. Brand and Chuck Robus joined them in this vision. Many nights were spent in the basement of the Brand home located at 18 Frances Place, where the four planned the advent of this foreign sport. Within a short period of time they had received permits to use the school fields at Leocadia Court, Middle Road, Union Avenue, Beers Street and Holy Family Church for the children to use to play soccer. Thus, the Hazlet Youth Soccer Association (HYSA) was born.
