Thanks,

MYS Board

Hello everyone… Marlboro Youth Soccer is excited to share with you the Every Kid Sports Pass, which offers financial assistance for qualifying families up to $150 per child, per season towards registration fees for MYS programs.

The Every Kid Sports Pass provides a pre-paid digital VISA card for children ages 4-18, which can only be used towards registration fees for our programs. An online application is required for each child, each season, along with Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC supporting documents.

The Every Kid Sports Pass requires families to pay at least $10 towards the registration fees. If you are interested in using this program, please contact us at so that we can work with you to accept multiple forms of payment.

For additional information about this great program, please see the Every Kid Sports Pass FAQs (https://everykidsports.org/every-kid-sports-pass/faq/) and Step-by-Step Playbook (https://everykidsports.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/eksPass_Step_by_Step.pdf).

This Holiday season, our Board of Directors is thankful that the Every Kid Sports Pass program and its founding and supporting sponsors provide an opportunity for children across the nation to join their peers and participate in youth sports!

Cheers,

Hello friends… After a few technical glitches with our website, our Board of Directors is finally happy to announce that registration for our Spring “In-Town” programs is now OPEN! These programs are for players in Kindergarten (or Pre-School!) through Grade 2. Please register today at www.marlboroyouthsoccer.org/registration

We’ve made a few significant changes to our In-Town program, in response to feedback we received from many of you throughout the Fall. First, we’ve expanded the age range for our Kindergarten program to include some Pre-Schoolers. If your child is currently in Pre-School, and is eligible to enter Kindergarten in the Fall of 2022, then we’d love for your child to join MYS!

Secondly… Our Grade 1 and 2 programs will look much the same as they did in the Fall, except that we’re planning to separate boys and girls into different teams at both age groups. Doing so will bring our program in line with those of just about all of our surrounding communities. It will also allow boys and girls to build friendships with many of their future Grade 3 BAYS teammates. Our Grade 2 Spring program will also incorporate some 7v7 play towards the end of the season, to help these kids prepare for travel soccer next fall.

Please remember that registration for our BAYS/travel program (Grades 3-12) is also open. If your child would like to join MYS, please make sure to register soon to avoid late fees and ensure a roster spot.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in our community for their patience, cooperation, and help in making our Fall 2021 season a tremendous success. Special thanks are owed to our amazing team of volunteer coaches and Board members, all of whom gave a little (or a lot!) of their time each week to help make MYS work. Without coaches, we’d have no teams… Without teams, we’d have no program. Please keep that in mind when registering your child for our Spring 2022 program. We’d love for you to check that box to indicate that you’re willing to help!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy Holiday season. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hello everyone… Are you sad that our Fall season is coming to an end?... Looking for a place for your child to keep playing soccer throughout the winter?... Well… You’re in luck! There are some great indoor soccer opportunities in our area!

Our friends at ForeKicks in Marlborough (219 Forest Street, Marlborough, MA) offer indoor soccer programs for kids as young as 1.5 years old! Their “Lil Kicker” Early Development Academy” is designed for players through age 7 who are new to the game. The program features an age-appropriate curriculum that is designed to get younger kids moving having fun! One step up from that is the “Skills Institute” Soccer Academy, designed for 5-12 year olds, with more of a focus on technical and tactical soccer skills. For more info on these programs or to register, you can visit https://www.forekicks.com/marlboro/shared/content/index.cfm?fuseaction=camps. For questions on these programs, or to speak with someone who can help you identify which program is right for your child, please email .

Just down the road a bit in Northborough is where you’ll find Teamworks (185 Otis Street, Northborough, MA), which offers soccer programs for players ages 3-14. Teamworks offers a series of gender-specific Junior Academy Clinics run by local club team FC Stars, in addition to some co-ed programs designed for younger players. You’ll find more information on both programs at https://www.teamworksnorthboro.com/youthprogram.aspx.

Whether you want to keep playing soccer right through the winter, or take a break for a bit to enjoy the Holidays or other indoor sports, we hope that all of you will rejoin our program next Spring! As a reminder, registration for our BAYS age groups (Grade 3-12) is currently OPEN, and registration for our in-Town program (KG-Grade 2) will be open very soon. For more information on our programs, or to register, please visit http://www.marlboroyouthsoccer.org/Registration/. Register soon to ensure your spot on a roster!

Cheers,
