  SEASON INFO!   

The Fall season runs for 8-weeks and is scheduled to start on September 8th and end on October 27th as all games will be held at the Reeds Ferry fields. There will be 1-2 weeknight practices for U6-U19 players, night(s) at the discretion of the Coach's schedule and availability. Your coach will contact you regarding practice days and times. If there are nights your child cannot attend practice, please indicate that on your registration comments box.      MYA provides each player with a pair of socks along with their uniform shirt. All players must wear shin guards with socks worn over the outside completely covering the guard.  Soccer cleats are optional but suggested for U4 and U6 players and are encouraged for U8 players and older.      Once all registrations are in, schedules and rosters will be available as soon as we have enough registered coaches in each league to accommodate the many amazing players we have in Town! We will post the schedules on our website, Facebook page and your coaches will be sharing your team's schedule information with you.  

   VOLUNTEER!   Want to volunteer to help MYA Soccer but maybe feel like you don't have the knowledge/experience? Here is your chance!!!   The continued success of the MYA Soccer Program relies heavily on parent volunteers like you to provide a fun and positive soccer experience for our children, while encouraging teamwork and great sportsmanship.    

COACHES - We have many coaching opportunities for all age groups this season and are looking for head coaches and assistant coaches – no experience necessary! See below (Fall Season League Information) for the number of teams we will have in the fall which will require a coach and an assistant coach for each team. Without a coach and an assistant coach, we will not be able to form teams, and unfortunately, may have to turn players away if complete teams cannot be formed.

   FIELD LINING/PREP - We are in need of volunteers to serve on a field lining crew. The fields are mowed once a week, but the lines will need to be redone once or twice a week or they disappear quickly. The season lasts 9 weeks (including the initial field lining and prep before season games begin) and the lining times are flexible so there's plenty of opportunities to volunteer. It is just tracing - going over lines that are already there. So an hour or an hour and a half of your time is all we need. We will first show you what needs to be done and how to do it, should only take about 10 minutes, then just let us know what weeks you are available. We would be extremely grateful for any help you can give.   If you are interested in any of the open volunteer opportunities, please email volunteer@myasoccer.org or recreation@myasoccer.org.

We also cannot release rosters or any practice/game schedules if we do not have coaches that have gone through a background check. We need coaches to be cleared before we can start the season. If you are interested in helping fill this volunteer opportunity so we can accommodate the 600+ expected players this season, please let me know.
