Welcome to the Spring 2021 Season

As we get back onto the fields for our Spring 2021 soccer season, our primary focus remains the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff, and spectators. The pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges and we thank you for your continued support. As the guidelines from both the Commonwealth and Mass Youth Soccer continue to evolve, you will find the latest information on our COVID-19 Protocol page. Until Mass Youth Soccer outlines an updated policy, masks are still required to be worn by all players, coaches, referees, and spectators at all times.

We strive to create an environment of positive reinforcement and respect. Please review our Code of Conduct, which outlines the expected behaviors of all who attend our soccer activities. As a reminder, pets and smoking/vaping are not permitted on the fields or in the spectator areas.

Thank you again for your continued support – see you on the fields!
