And the sun sets on the Fall Season...

Sunset over Marshall Field

As the sun literally sets on the fall season, BYSA wants to thank you for your engagement, participation, patience, and effort in making the Fall 2025 season a success.

A huge thank you to all our volunteer coaches and staff - without someone saying “yes” none of this would happen for our kids. We had just shy of 850 players this season participating between Pre-K and 8th grade.

Just because the fall season is over doesn’t mean we’re done - keep an eye out for the following sign-ups coming soon!

  • Winter Clinics at TSC Grades 1-6 players starting in January

  • In-town Spring Registrations Pre-K-8 opening soon!

  • BYSA Futsal Play for Travel Players starting in January

We’ll send messages out via PlayMetrics so returning members have a first chance at all our programs before posting elsewhere, so keep an eye in the app and your email for when registrations open up!

Founding Board Member Mary Rogers Passes

It is with heavy hearts that we pass along the news that Mary Rogers, a 40 year veteran of BYSA and Middlesex Youth Soccer has passed away at the age of 81.

Mary held various positions in her long tenure with BYSA, her last being that of Travel Director several years ago.

Mary was part of the founding of BYSA and a champion of youth soccer in Billerica all her life. Several years ago, BYSA renamed one of our high school scholarships in her name.

In lieu of flowers, Mary’s family has requested that donations be made to BYSA to help the organization that she loved. You may find the Donate button on our homepage where Mary is honored.

She will be missed.

5th Grade Boys Complete Futsal Season in Style

The BYSA 5th grade B5-1 team completed its winter futsal season in style, with a 11-1 win over a FC Stars club team in its last game of the season.

The boys finished the season with an 9-1 record, scoring 105 goals while only conceding 30 - a +75 goal difference! They were the only “town” team in the league, playing club teams in a U12 division.

The team was coached by BYSA Player Development Director Kevin Williams, and his son, former BYSA player and current MLS.Next Valeo FC U16 player Ryan Williams, with game day help from fellow BYSA board member Brian McGlone, Field Director.

The team now looks forward to the spring season, and knows the skills gained playing the fast paced game of futsal on the court will translate to improvements on the grass.

Please enjoy all the goals from the last game below, and the victorious team photo!
