5th Grade Boys Enjoying a Strong Start to Futsal Season

Players from the Boys 5-1 team are off to a strong start in the Futsal NH league where they are playing in the U12 Division.

This is the 3rd year that the players from this team (starting in 3rd grade) have been playing futsal in the winter session.

Futsal is the official indoor game of FIFA - it is a fast paced game played on a basketball court, 5v5, using a special low-bounce ball. The game demands fast play, great ball control, and dynamic interplay to be successful.

The boys are off to a fast start, going 3-0 to start the season, with an aggregate score of 32-7. More challenging teams await them, but it’s a great way to begin their campaign.

Enjoy some pictures and a short montage of some of their best goals from this past weekend!

Selection of the best goals from match week 3 - final score of 11-2 for BYSA B5-1.

SPRING IN-TOWN REGISTRATION OPEN!

Registration for our spring season (April-June) for in-town programs (Pre-K - 8th grade) is now open!

Register in the PlayMetrics app for the easiest access, or use the link below.

IN-TOWN REGISTRATION

You register for the program based on the grade your player is currently in school - for Pre-K, your player must be STARTING Kindergarten in the fall of 2025 to be eligible.

Reminder - current travel players DO NOT register again - your program is a whole year (Sept-June) program and you are already paid for the entire year when you accepted your spot way back in the summer!

Travel Tryouts Announced

Good evening - this email is to announce the dates and procedures for the Travel Team tryouts for the 2024-2025 season.

Eligible players are any players that will be entering grade 3 through 7 in Sept. 2024 (next school year).

To be considered for a roster spot:

  1. Register for Tryouts in PlayMetrics

  2. Attend tryouts

  3. If you are injured or have other complications that prevent you from attending your tryout, you MUST still register so we have your player's name, then you must fill out this form

If travel soccer is new to you, please visit https://www.billericasoccer.org/making-the-leap-to-travel for all the details. Please note - travel soccer is a FULL YEAR (fall and spring ) committment.

Dates are as follows:

  • CURRENT 3rd graders (entering 4th grade in the fall) Monday May 20th, 5:30 (Girls) 6:30 (Boys) - Akeson Field

  • CURRENT 2nd Graders (entering grade 3 in the fall) Tuesday May 21st, 5:30 (Girls) 6:30 (Boys) - Akeson Field

  • CURRENT 4th-6th graders (entering grades 5-7 in the fall) Sunday June 2nd, 10am-1pm (age and gender specific times to be communicated later) - Upper VVP

Players are evaluated using a team of BYSA coaches, and coaches and staff from the NE Revs Academy. The team of coaches has been selected across all ages and genders coached, and represents a cross-section of the BYSA community.

Your current coach nor the travel team coach does NOT pick their teams - the scores from the adjudication team are tallied and averaged, and each player is ranked from first to last. Teams are then created based on the number of players available and the number of roster spots allowed and practical per each team division, using that ranked order of players.

See the above link about Travel Soccer for more details on the restrictions we must follow per our league rules.

We understand tryouts can be stressful, but we do try and make it about just playing the game. It is a useful skill for life, and this is a pretty low stakes way to gain some experience. We strive to find a spot for every player that we can, but again, numerical limits may prevent that from time to time. We always have a robust in-town program for players to enjoy all the way through grade 8.

Best of luck in the rest of your season.

Spring BYSA High School Teams Info

Signups for Spring High School teams are handled on an invite system and are not part of the general registration process.

Players will be contacted directly for interest and availability, and registration links are sent out via our roster invite system.

We run grade 8-9-10 team(s), and 11-12-PG team(s), boys and girls, as long as we have enough players interested for a roster.

Spacing filling fast - In-town registration open!

In-town registration is open, but slots are filling up fast!

Don’t be the one who misses out because you though “oh - I have time - I’ll do it later…” - because later is NOW!

Register in your PlayMetrics app or this link.

For reference, you register for the grade level you are entering in the Fall of 2023.

For Kindergarten, you must be attending/eligible for K in Billerica this fall.

For the Pre-K program, your player must be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2024. If they are not, they are too young for soccer this year and must wait until next fall.
