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. Ages 3-6 use a #3-size soccer ball, and Under 8 and Under 9 players use a #4-size ball - players are encouraged to bring their own soccer ball to practice, provided it is the proper size and marked clearly with your child's name.
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 soccer commissioner Hank Vineyard at soccer@broadneckyouthsports.com.
Broadneck Soccer Club County League

Coaching
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 soccer commissioner Hank Vineyard 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.

Confused about your child's age group? Use this handy Youth Soccer Age Group calculator.
Beginning with the 2016-17 soccer season, US Soccer has mandated a change in registration birth dates. No longer will age groups be aligned under the confusing Aug 1 to July 31 standard that we have all grown accustomed to. Instead, players will now register according to their year of birth: 2004, 2005, etc.
BAYS in compliance with Maryland law must provide coaches, players, and parents with information on sports related concussions. All players and parents must read and acknowledge the Anne arundel county concussion awareness form to be eligible to participate: Anne Arundel County Concussion Awareness
