NEWTON YOUTH SOCCER 

www.newtonsoccer.org

***** INTRAMURAL REGISTRATION ***** 

Newton Youth Soccer (NYS) offers boys and girls of Newton the opportunity to play soccer with a low-key and less competitive approach.  All students, from grades 1 through 10 (in September), regardless of ability or previous experience are eligible to participate.  The emphasis is on learning sportsmanship and fun with all children playing at least half of every game. Children must either live in Newton or attend a Newton public or private school in order to participate.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES AND FEES: All registrations are handled on a first come first served basis.  Registration forms must be completed and mailed with the season’s fee; $90 for the first child in a family; $20 discount for second child and $30 for each additional child; (If the fee presents a hardship, please note the hardship on a separate sheet.)   A $15 late fee will be assessed for registrations postmarked after July 15.  The registration fee covers uniforms, trophies, team equipment, referees and field improvements.  No refund will be made after August 12.  Please make checks payable to Newton Youth Soccer, and please include your phone number on the check.

TEAM ASSIGNMENTS: NYS attempts to organize teams according to public elementary school district (where the player resides).  With over 1,500 players, NYS cannot accept specific team requests.  Under no circumstances will requests for a specific team or coach placement be considered for any reason and no player will be switched from one team to another after the final team selection.  These rules have been adopted by NYS’s Board of Directors and will be strictly enforced.  Private school students will be placed on a team within their public elementary school district.  Players registering after July 6 might not be placed on teams within their school district.  You will be notified of your team assignment by your coach no later than September 4.  Please do not call about team placements before September 6.

GAMES AND PRACTICES: Games are scheduled on Saturday, starting the first week in September and ending the second week in November .  Required practices are held once a week.  Time, day, and place of practice are at the discretion of the coach.  Each child is expected to attend 90% of the scheduled games and 80% of the practices.

UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT: Shirts, shorts and socks are supplied by the League.  Shin guards are mandatory.  NYS recommends shin guards with padded ankle protection.  Soccer shoes with molded rubber cleats are recommended for Grades 1 through 6 and are required for Grades 7 through 10.  Metal cleats are not allowed in any grade.

COACHES: NYS would not exist without volunteer coaches and assistant coaches, and these coaches are you!  Each team must have at least one adult coach and under no circumstances will more than two coaches be assigned to a team.  Coaching is a rewarding experience and parents are encouraged to volunteer.  No previous soccer experience is required in order to join the fun with your children.

COACHING CLINICS AND ASSISTANCE: Introductory and intermediate coaching clinics, courses and on-going assistance are available.

BAYS: NYS participates in Boston Area Youth Soccer (BAYS),  a more competitive travel league, separate from this intramural program. BAYS takes place in the Fall and Spring with tryouts in the Fall only.  When applicable, your child is encouraged to play in both the BAYS and Intramural programs.  While NYS will do everything it can to avoid scheduling conflicts, eligible players and coaches participating in BAYS as well as in intramural programs should make a good faith effort, to resolve the scheduling conflicts 50/50 between the programs. THIS FORM IS NOT INTENDED FOR BAYS REGISTRATION. Check our website for a form and ask your spring coach if you're eligible to play BAYS in the Fall.
