Medfield Youth Soccer

Medfield Youth Soccer (MYS) is a non-profit organization in Medfield, Massachusetts, dedicated to providing soccer opportunities for local residents. The organization operates a variety of programs for children in grades 1 through 8 and participates in regional leagues.

Organization Structure

Medfield Youth Soccer offers both In-Town and Travel programs. The In-Town program is designed for younger players, offering an internal league structure where teams play against each other within Medfield. This program is not part of external leagues but provides a foundational soccer experience for children in the first and second grades. The Travel program, on the other hand, involves participation in the Boston Area Youth Soccer League (BAYS), allowing teams to compete against other local towns. The BAYS league is recognized by the Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association (MYSA).

Programs Offered

• In-Town Program: This program is structured for grades 1 and 2, providing a local, in-house league experience. The season typically runs on Sundays over an eight-week period, starting after Labor Day in September and resuming in April for the spring.

• Travel Program: Available for grades 3 through 8, this program participates in BAYS, offering a more competitive and varied experience. Notably, U9 teams (3rd grade) play a modified schedule that includes both travel games and local competition.

• Medfield Soccer Academy: This program operates under the Medfield Youth Soccer umbrella, offering advanced training and competition for selected players through participation in the New England Club Soccer League (NECSL). The Academy teams compete across Massachusetts and surrounding states.
