Practices were held at Athletic Park.
The first game scheduled was against Amityville High School on October 7th. (This game was later canceled after it was discovered by a Freeport High School teacher that only three of Amityville's players were in high school).
The squad added a half-mile run to its two-hour practice every afternoon.
Hempstead High School did not produce a team in 1905
