BYSA’s popular Fall Recreational League offers programs for players of all skill levels from Pre-K (age 3) through 9th grade. Our goal is to help children develop a love of the game while playing with their friends in a fun and competitive environment.
The 2025 Fall program kicks off on Saturday, September 6 and runs for 8 weeks. There are no games on Columbus Day Weekend. Games are played rain or shine, depending on field condition. All games will be played on Saturdays between 9am and 3pm. Teams in Grade 1 and above will also have a once weekly practice (day/time to be scheduled by the team coach).
Registration for all divisions is now open and closes August 15, 2025. Early-bird pricing is available through 7/11. Program capacity is limited and based on several factors including availability of volunteer coaches. Spots are likely to fill up and placement will be first-come, first-serve based on date of registration.

In the event we don't have enough volunteer coaches, we may need to cap the program size.

If you're interested in volunteering as a coach, your
support could help ensure more players can participate!
