WYS was started in 1976 by Donald Cushing and Dick Skrocki. WYS was part of the Town of Webster, MA Recreation Department until Proposition 2.5 hit in 1978. Mark Sutor continued the program and as a self-funded organization until 1989 when he passed the torch to a new leadership team. From 1976 to 1989, player participation grew from 26 to 500 players illustrating the growing interest in the sport. In 1996, WYS formally organized as a corporation led by then President Joseph Dalimonte. WYS Soccer has serviced thousands of youth players during its 43-year history. Its success is due to the army of volunteers who have served in Board and Coaching roles. This Program would not have survived without the dedication of so many involved residents who have given their generosity of time and talent to the youth of Webster. We thank all of our past and current volunteers!
