FALL 2025 EYSA REGISTRATION INFO

For the fall season, we offer the following programs:

• Roots Travel Soccer: Application Due Sunday, July 20, 2025
• Rec Soccer Program: Application Due Sunday, August 3, 2025
  

Registration links are at the bottom of the page but please read the below for more information on each.

Rec Soccer Program
Our recreational program offers learning and development opportunities for players from approximately Pre-K through 8th grade. There are 6 divisions based on age and, in some cases, experience as outlined below. 

NEW FOR 2025: We have added additional Rec soccer options for those in 5th-8th grade. These (and our 3rd/4th grade 10U division) are provided as part of the Quabbin Valley Soccer League and are an option for any players who are new to the game, or just want a more casual experience compared to a Travel team option. Please reach out to us with any questions you may have about this.

Roots Travel Soccer
Travel Registration is $125 per player when you register by the early bird deadline of June 29. After June 29, registrations per player are $150. Uniforms are $50 additional (if needed). 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 fall travel soccer program through the Roots Soccer League (RSL) and Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). We will field boys and girls teams in as many levels as possible: 8U-14U. There are no High School teams in the fall as players participate in soccer with Easthampton High School (EHS). In some cases, EHS will pull in JV players starting in 7th grade (13U) in order to field a full JV team. When this is the case, players may still sign up with EYSA/Roots/MYSA but they will not be allowed to miss any JV or Varsity soccer events in favor of other team's games or practices.

* Players born between 2/1/2011 and 8/1/2011 can register and play at the 14U level provided they are currently enrolled in 8th grade.

August Birthdays
Players with an August birthday typically play with their grade level. 

• Please register for the level allowed in the system.
• Message us if you prefer to move your child to a different level. . 
• For example, if your child was born in August 2014, they would qualify for 11U, but if they are currently in 6th grade and you want to move them to 12U, we can accommodate that request. The school year cutoff is later in August so that is why this exception is made.
  

Team Placement, Evaluations and Tryouts
EYSA is growing every year which is great! The default team assignment is based on age with the aforementioned exception for August birthdays. Due to a larger number of registrations, evaluations and tryouts can be utilized to assess players’ interest and ability for selection on a team above their default team assignment. If we do not have enough players to field a team at a specific level, EYSA will need to make accommodations to either combine or move players. These accommodations are made in the best interest of the overall program to yield maximum playing opportunities and are determined by season only. Each subsequent season will reset players back to the default team assignment by age.

The first games of the season are likely to be scheduled for September 6, 2025 with practices starting several weeks before that.

Financial Aid
Financial aid is available to anyone who requests. Please direct all questions and inquiries to us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.

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.
