WYSA SOCCER PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In-Town - Grade K (formerly U6), Grade 1 (formerly U7), Grade 2 (formerly U8)
WYSA offers an in-town program for children in grades K-2. All games are played in Westford against other Westford teams. Programs are offered for Grade-K, Grade 1 and Grade 2. Registration for the Fall In-Town program runs from May through August. Registration for the Spring In-Town program runs from November through March. Specific dates are posted on the WYSA website.
Rec - Grade 3/4 (formerly U10), Grade 5/6 (formerly U12) Not offered in Fall 2023 due to lack of an age director to run the program.
Rec soccer is for children in grades 3-6. Games will be against other Westford Rec teams and possibly a neighboring town such as Acton. Registration for the Fall Travel program runs from May through June. Registration for the Spring travel program runs from November through December. Specific dates are posted on the WYSA website. This program is dependent on having a sufficent number of players registered by the deadline. If we are unable to offer the Rec program for one of the age groups, players will be notified and either receive a full refund or their registration will be moved to the travel program (dependent on the option selected during registration).
Travel - Grade 3/4 (formerly U10), Grade 5/6 (formerly U12) and Grade 7/8 (formerly U14)
Travel soccer is for children in grades 3-8. WYSA plays in the Middlesex Youth Soccer League (MYSL) and plays against teams from other towns. Approximately half of the games will be played in Westford. The remaining away games will require traveling to other towns. Some of the towns in this league include Billerica, Chelmsford, Lowell, Somerville, and Woburn. For a complete list of towns that participate in MYSL visit the Organizations list on the MYSL website. Registration for the Fall Travel program runs from May through June. Registration for the Spring travel program runs from November through December. Specific dates are posted on the WYSA website. The number of teams is based on the number of player registrations for the season. Due to MYSL's maximum roster sizes we may not be able to place every player on a team. In this situation WYSA will notify players. Any players not placed on teams due to roster size will receive a full refund. See "About Travel Soccer" for more information.
High School Age, Grade 9/10 and Grade 11/12 (Formerly U16 and U18)
High School age players participate in BAYS or the Nashoba Valley Youth Soccer League (NVYSL) for the Fall season (HS-Age) and Middlesex Youth Soccer League for the Spring season (Grade 9/10 and Grade 11/12) with games on Sundays. For the Spring season games are "venue-based" to allow for more effective scheduling of officials. Westford teams may have home games that are not played in Westford. Registration for the Fall Travel program runs from May through August. Registration for the Spring travel program runs from November through December. Specific dates are posted on the WYSA website. The number of teams is based on the number of player registrations for the season. Due to MYSL's maximum roster sizes we may not be able to place every player on a team. In this situation WYSA will notify players. Any players not placed on teams due to roster size will receive a full refund.
