GOALKEEPER TRYOUTS

In additional to regular BAYS tryouts, we will be holding one goalkeeper specific tryout for our rising 6th, 7th and 8th grade players. The tryout is for players who are interested in being placed on a team to play at least 50% of each game as a designated GK. Players must also attend their regularly scheduled age group tryout.

This GK tryout, is in addition to their age group specific tryout.

Date: Tuesday June 13th
Location: Forte
Time: 5-6pm

REGISTER HERE 



In order to tryout, you must first register and pay for 2023/24 Travel Soccer season. Registration for the Travel program will automatically enroll the player into a Tryout Session.  The fee is refundable if a player withdraws before July 1.  If a player is not placed onto a travel team the fee is refundable although these players are automatically enrolled into the IM program and encouraged to play in that program.  The travel fee can be applied to the IM Fall Season fee with the difference refunded.


Players should wear cleats, shinpads, and wear appropriate training gear. The tryouts will consist of a series of scrimmages that allow independent evaluators to assess their level of play.  Our goal is to provide the appropriate team that matches the skill level of the child.  This will give them the best experience learning and playing soccer. Due to the large number of players involved, NYS does not offer makeup tryouts.  If your child has an unavoidable conflict please speak with your child's coach and the appropriate age group coordinator.

Registration Listing

Travel Soccer - 2023/24

Newton Youth Soccer ("NYS") participates in BAYS, the Boston Area Youth Soccer League. BAYS is one of several regional leagues across Massachusetts that provide "travel" soccer, allowing teams from different towns to play one another.

Each season, Newton fields about 30-40 teams from players in 3rd Grade through High School. BAYS teams are organized by age groups depending on a player's school grade AND date of birth. PLAYERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AGE GROUPS BELOW THEIR SCHOOL GRADE. OUR REGISTRATION SYSTEM MAY PRESENT TWO PROGRAMS TO EACH PLAYER BASED ON AGE, BUT IF ONE OF THE PROGRAMS IS FOR THE GRADE BELOW WHERE THE PLAYER WILL ATTEND IN SCHOOL, IT IS NOT A VALID OPTION.

In the fall season, NYS has teams that compete in the following age groups: 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade, 7th and 8th, and a BAYS league for high school students in grades 9-12. BAYS provides a calculator to determine what age group your child can play in here

Your payment covers both the fall and spring seasons. In the event that your child is not placed on a team, the first option will be to transfer this payment to the intramural (IM) program for both seasons or you may request a refund.  

In addition to the fee indicated, there will be a $35 per player fee that the City of Newton has implemented for any youth sports organizations using grass fields. This mandatory, non-refundable fee is paid directly to Newton PR&C every season ($15 / player in the fall and $20 / player in the spring) and is in addition to the hourly rental fees paid by NYS.

Reminder that this is boys soccer. We do welcome girls that want to play primarily with boys. If you prefer you can go to Newton Girls Soccer to register for the girls program.

Scholarships
We recognize youth sports and other activity fees can be expensive. NYS offers a Scholarship Program to waive or reduce registration fees for any family in need of financial assistance. This is a confidential program that can include tuition, along with the uniform kit and other equipment, as needed.
