Late Spring Soccer Registration Ends March 7!

We have opened up late registration for spring soccer, closing March 7. This is for coaches and players. We really need players and coaches for:

Covid-19 Update:

We are a go for soccer! All players, coaches, and parents must wear masks. The only exception is when the coaches and players are on the field during practice or games.

Coaches will keep an attendance roster for each practice and game. This will be done via the Stacks Sports team page.

BAYS Community League

(3 to 7 year-olds)

Age Groups:

Starters (3-5 year olds born 2016 or 2017)

Junior Clinic (5-6 year olds born in 2015)

Senior Clinic (6-7 year olds born in 2014)

Please do not request to put younger siblings with the older players. The kids progress each year and the level of training matches their age group. Playing a younger sibling on an older team takes away from the older kids and makes it very difficult on the volunteer coaches.

Starters (born in 2016 or 2017) is for pre-K and kindergarteners. Teams will be led by professional trainers on Thursday evenings from 4:30pm-5:30pm. The trainers will also be there to assist on Sundays with a 30 minute game following the training. This is a great opportunity to get your young player into soccer with the focus on ball touches, skills drills, and just getting used to being on the field with other kids in a fun an learning environment.

Season starts March 26 and will end by Memorial Day (with no rain outs).

Fees: $115 This includes the jersey, shorts, socks, and a BAYS soccer ball. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A UNIFORM!

Junior Clinic (Under 6 born in 2015) and Senior Clinic (Under 7 born in 2014) are typically comprised of kindergarteners and first-graders. Teams typically receive one to two practices and one game per week. Coaches can have a practice during the week with the option of trainers on Thursday evening.

Sundays for the Junior Clinic will include a 30 minute training session led by professional trainers with a 30 minute game to follow.

Sundays for the Senior Clinic will include a 1 hour game.

Fees: $115 This includes the jersey, shorts, socks, and a BAYS soccer ball. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A UNIFORM!

Teams are formed on a first-come-first-assigned basis. Please include Buddy/Coach requests and Practice Night requests in the apropriate section when registering. We try to honor such requests, but there are no guarantees, as spaces are limited and coaches choose the practice nights. Once teams are built it is very difficult to move players from one assignment to another.

Shin guards are required for all players, and cleats are recommended but not required.

We always need new volunteer parent-coaches for Starters and Clinic teams. Please consider volunteering to coach, assist or even help manage a team. BAYS is a volunteer-run organization, and without parents like you stepping up, our children would not be able to play. You can register to volunteer similar to how you registered your child. If you'd like more information on volunteering, email Community League coordinator at soccer@broadneckyouthsports.com.

Practice Nights

Depending on age, teams practice one or two nights a week. If you have practice requests, include them in the comments section when registering; we try to accommodate these requests, but practice nights are at the coaches' choosing, as they are all volunteers, so we cannot guarantee what nights practices will be.

Age Categories

Please use your child's correct date of birth when registering. Players 12 and up may try out at an older age group as well as their birth-year age group. Please include this information in the comments section when registering. Under no circumstance may any player "play down" into a younger age group.
