What
is the Metro-Boston Bulldogs
/SOE
Program?
Four
years ago, Newton Youth Soccer, in partnership with Mass Premier Soccer,
successfully launched our Metro-Boston
Bulldogs program. Also known as the School
of
Excellence
, this is a program for players seeking extra opportunities for skill
development through top notch training by the MPS professional coaching staff.
Programs
are
for the U10, U11 & U12 age levels
as well as in our U9 "Smart Soccer" program.
Instruction and coaching are from Mass Premier Soccer's professional coaching
staff. Teams train in
Newton
and compete in Sunday games against similar Mass Premier Soccer programs based
throughout
Eastern Massachusetts
.
After
three full years in operation, we have had excellent reviews from parents,
players and coaches. The level of skill improvement from our players has
been outstanding, and players have had fun while they have played at a high
level!
Why is the Metro-Boston
Bulldogs/SOE program offered by
NEWTON
YOUTH SOCCER?
The
Metro-Boston Bulldogs
program provides professional coaching and additional playing opportunities for
our more committed players. The Newton-based Metro-Boston
Bulldogs program recognizes that some players who participate in NYS want more
soccer than they get from their town team, but would like the convenience of
training in
Newton
. The program is intended to be complimentary to the players’
NYS travel or intramural team, and great effort goes into avoiding scheduling
conflicts.
Is
the Metro-Boston Bulldogs
/SOE
Program for everyone?
No.
NYS offers programs for a wide range of soccer interests and abilities. We will
continue our commitment to providing intramural and travel programs with
numerous clinics and instructional opportunities. Many strong players on top
teams have commitments to other activities, and participation in the Bulldogs is
neither mandatory nor factored in to NYS team selection. Those who do play for
the Bulldogs should have a strong commitment and dedication to the development
of their soccer skills. Attendance at Bulldogs training sessions and games
is expected.

Past Announcements

Dear NYS Coaches and Parents,
If one of your youth players gets injured during a game or practice, do you
know what to do? How do you train your athletes to avoid injury and eat
properly? What kinds of special exercises can you do with your players to
prevent injury, enhance flexibility, and increase strength?
To answer these questions, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, in association with
NYS, NGS, and a number of area youth sports leagues, is hosting the
Annual Youth Sports Safety Day
The cost is only $10/person, and includes a first aid kit, laminated injury
management cards, a copy of all handouts from presenters, and a box lunch.
You can come for one or more of the morning content sessions, afternoon
practical sessions, or the entire day. The program is very flexible, so you
can plug in wherever your time allows and interests carry you.
To
Be scheduled by NWH
NYS reimburses all
coaches for the complete cost of the program.
