Alamo Heights Fort Sam Houston Soccer Club

Under an agreement with Fort Sam Houston ("FSH" or "the post"), AHFSH plays games on fields located within FSH.  This agreement requires the league to implement certain safeguards necessary to maintain security at the post.  Vehicle entrance passes are required to enter FSH.  If your son or daughter is registered with AHFSH, you may request a pass valid for the 2008-2009 season.  All other visitors will need to acquire a day pass (see FAQ's below).  Please remember that Fort Sam Houston is a government military installation, and safety-related rules are initiated and monitored by military police and approved contractors.

Where can I pick up my passes?

Why is the "Request A New Pass" link available only during registration?

AHFSH cannot issue passes beyond the initial registration period for security purposes.

May I obtain passes for relatives, friends, caregivers, etc….?

No, except where the relative or caregiver regularly provides transportation for the player.  Friends may not receive passes under any circumstances.

How many passes am I allowed?

You are allowed passes for up to 3 vehicles where all drivers reside at the address listed on the pass, except in the extenuating circumstance of family members and caregivers described above.

If I do not have a pass, how do I enter Fort Sam Houston?

You may acquire a day pass from the Harry Wurzbach,  Walters Street or Benz-Engleman gates.  All adult occupants of the vehicle will need a valid photo ID.  Passes are unnecessary for those playing games on the Under-5 to Under-8 fields near the Youth Center, although you will still need to show a valid photo ID.  For a map showing available gates, click here.  For additional information and interactive maps to the fields, click HERE.

Why are vehicle passes necessary to attend soccer games?

Fort Sam Houston is a military installation under heightened security and has specific rules regarding pass issuance.  Security of military operations and personnel is paramount, and convenience for soccer participants is secondary.  Our ability to play soccer at Fort Sam Houston is a privilege, not a right.  Please, help us maintain our relationship with our military hosts by obeying the rules and understand that all AHFSH members and guests must obey the rules set by Fort Sam Houston.
