Exciting changes coming this spring to the MYSC rec program!

NEW This spring season Madison Youth Soccer Club we will be transitioning to a new format for kids in Kindergarten and 2nd grade. These changes bring our program in line with other area programs and enhance the skill development at younger ages ensuring a more enjoyable experience for all participants.

 Outlined below are the new age groupings and corresponding activities:
-Clinic: Will again be offered to kids in Pre-K and kids in Kindergarten if they have not participated in clinic before. This will be 1 session offered on Saturdays. 
-4v4, smaller field with 2 goals and no goalie (previously our 1/2 rec program): Will now be offered to 1st graders and kindergarteners. There will be 1 practice a week and a game on Saturday mornings.
-7v7 larger field, with 1 goal and goalie (previously our 3/4 reg program): Will now be offered to kids in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades.  There will be 1 practice a week and a game on Saturday mornings.

What does this mean for you?
-If you have a child in pre-k you will continue to participate in the clinic.
-If you have a Kindergartner you can choose to have them participate in the clinic or the k/1 rec program.
-If you have a 1st grader they will continue to play in the format they played in the fall, although they will now be playing with kids who are in kindergarten.
-If you have a 2nd grader they will now be playing 7v7 on a larger field with 1 goal and a goalie with 3rd and 4th graders. 
-If you have a 3rd grader they will continue to play in the format they played in the fall (7v7), although they will now be playing with kids who are in 2nd and 4th grade.
-If you have a 4th grader they will continue to play in the format they played in the fall (7v7), although they will now be playing with kids who are in 2nd and 3rd grade. They also still have the option to play on a travel team that is based on their birth year. 

Please note if you already signed up to play this spring your child will be moved to the proper division shortly. You will receive an updated confirmation.

U10 Travel Rec Plus

U10 Recreation Plus Program is an introductory developmental/recreational league geared towards introducing competitive soccer to the players and developing interest in the sport regardless of one's ability for kids born in 2013.  Teams will play against U10 teams from other towns in the New Haven area, which will require some local travel. 

Teams will have  1 practice during the week with 1 game on weekends (usually Sundays). Teams play 7 v 7.

Evaluations:  There are no tryouts and no “cuts”.  Anyone who meets the eligibility requirement below is eligible to play.  In the event that there are too many players for one team, the coaches will use data from previous coaches (Rec coaches) to split the players to make as many evenly balanced teams as needed – there is no “A” and “B” team split.

Eligibility:   For the Fall 2023/Spring 2024 seasons, players born in 2014, date of birth between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, are eligible to participate, regardless of grade.  However, if your child is new to the game, and is in 3rd or 4th grade, it is recommended that he/she participate in Madison’s in-house grade 3/4 rec program in the fall season rather than in the U10 travel rec program, which will have a higher level of competition.

Commitment:  The U10 program will consist of one weekday practice and one weekend game, typically on Sunday somewhere in the New Haven area.  During the fall season, any player participating in the U10 program is also required to participate in Madison’s in-house grade 3/4 rec program, which will also consist of one weekday practice and one weekend game, typically on Saturday morning.  Therefore, in the fall the commitment will be a total of 2 weekday practices and 2 games.  During the spring season, players are not required to participate in the in-house rec program, so the commitment consists of 1 weekday practice and 1 weekend game.

Fall - Players are required to play grade ¾ also.
Spring - Free registration to play grade ¾ if also playing U10.  Please email Deb Coe at [email protected] for your spring refund.

Playing Time:  As this is a recreational league, all players should play at least 50% of every game, unless there are injuries or discipline issues.  Players should be rotated among the different positions throughout the season.

Games:  There will be roughly 10 games scheduled in each season.  In addition, teams will participate in one tournament each season – the Madison Invitational Soccer Tournament (MIST) in September and the Clinton Invitational Tournament (CIT) in May. 

Training Schedule for Fall 2023
Wednesday 5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
