BYSA’s Competitive Travel Soccer program gives players living in Bridgewater, MA the opportunity to develop soccer skills year round. The program is designed for committed players and families who want to invest more time on soccer and are looking to advance their skills through competitive play.
The program runs from late October through the end of June and consists of a winter indoor winter season and an outdoor spring season.
BYSA is a member of the South Shore Soccer League (SSSL) for Grades 3 and up in which teams compete against other local town teams in the South Shore area. SSSL is a designee of Massachusetts Youth Soccer (MYSA).
For Grades 1 and 2 (U8) is currently not a part of South Shore Soccer League. Teams in the past have participated in the Festival of Future Stars (FOFS) with games held in East Bridgewater.
The program includes winter team training sessions held between November and March and weekly practices and games from April through June. Teams also participate in 2-3 sessions of indoor league games during the winter at the Bridgewater Dome, Taunton Forekicks, or similar facilities.
Practices are scheduled weekly at the Flagg St. fields with times coordinated between coaches and BYSA. Spring training times and days may be different from the winter schedule. Practice schedules are typically set in March.

Missing an evaluation may impact team placement. In the event injury prevents a player from participating, all available player data will be considered and placement will be approved by BYSA President.
