FALL 2024 EYSA REGISTRATION INFO

Links for registration are below - scroll down to get started. Financial aid is available to anyone who needs it - please direct all questions and inquiries to us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.

Rec Soccer Program
Our recreational soccer program is generally for players aged 4-10 who are still developing skills and may not be ready for the more intense competition of a Travel league. Please see division descriptions and info below. Children with stronger skills and interest in soccer can be signed up for the Travel program starting in 1st grade if so desired.

Roots Travel Soccer

Travel Registration is $150 per player but discounted to $125 for all registrations up to June 30. Uniforms are an additional $50 cost if needed but uniforms from prior seasons can be used if they still fit. Family discounts are also in place for registering multiple players at once.

EYSA's spring soccer program only offers travel soccer through Roots Soccer League (RSL) (governed by Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association (MYSA)). We will field boys and girls teams in as many levels as possible from 8U to High School. See ages in the chart below

Program      Born on or After      Grade Level (Approximate)
 8U8/1/20161st & 2nd
 9U8/1/20153rd
10U8/1/20144th
11U8/1/20135th
12U8/1/20126th
13U8/1/20117th
14U8/1/20108th

Those with August birthdays often choose to play with the grade level they are a part of. Please register for whichever level the system allows for and then message us to let us know if you'd like your child moved. E.g. if your child was born in August 2012, they would qualify for 11U, but if they are currently in 6th grade and you want to move them to 12U we will accommodate that request without any problems.

Given rising numbers of registrants we've seen in recent years, evaluations and tryouts may be needed in divisions where we have enough players to field more than one team, or to help us combine age groups if needed. In cases where we don't have enough players to field a team at a certain level, we may seek to combine or move players (see section below).

The first games of the season are likely to be scheduled for September 7, 2024 with practices starting several weeks before that.

Refund Policy
All sales are considered final once Registration is completed. EYSA will only consider a refund request under special and unforeseen circumstances (illness, injury, moving out of the area, or other inability to participate). A refund request must be submitted prior to any review by the board by emailing [email protected] and including the child’s name, team, and reason for the request.

Uniform fees are not refundable once uniforms have been ordered. Additional donations made to EYSA are not refundable.

DIVISION RESTRUCTURE DISCLAIMER

EYSA strives to field as many teams as possible and give every child the opportunity to play soccer. To accomplish this, EYSA will at times have to move players outside the division or team that their age or gender would otherwise align with. These moves may take the form of:

A) Combining age groups (i.e. 9U Girls would “age up” and play in the 10U Girls Division for the season).
B) Forming co-ed teams (i.e. 9U Girls and U9 Boys merge to form a co-ed team playing in the 9U Boys Division).
C) In individual circumstances, a player may be asked to “age up” and play in an older division where players are needed as long as EYSA, their coaches and the player's parents all agree that the player's ability level is consistent with that of the division they would be entering into.

(PLEASE NOTE: Your child’s prior seasons team may not have a bearing on their current seasons team. For example, if your 9U child was asked to move up to 10U part way through the fall season because they needed more players, your child still registers as 9U in the spring).

Thank you for your understanding.
