Hello Marlboro Youth Soccer Families,

After months of planning and endless meetings, we can announce our Fall, 2020 plans for Soccer in the Marlboro Community.

1. Fall: As we previously announced at the end of July, MYS decided not to participate in town travel (BAYS) or to run anything directly through Marlboro Youth Soccer in the Fall.  Instead, we have partnered with Marlboro Forekicks and the Boston Bolts to offer once a week clinics for our KG - Grade 8 community.  The Fall will begin with a 2 week free clinic for any budding soccer player that would normally be part of our MYS Program.  The full details can be found at the below link:

2. CovID Information: We have voted in our Compliance Officer (Brian Dupont) as our CovId Officer in order to keep informed of anything MYS needs to keep on top of.  As a reminder, this Fall, 2020, all activities are being run by our Partners, including all CovId compliance and porotocols. Mass Youth Soccer continues to maintain a site with all the most current information for in depth information on the subject: https://www.mayouthsoccer.org/return-to-soccer-activities/  

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I will continue to refresh and update the program link above as we get questions and answers around the program.

Stefan Hudzikiewicz,
Development Director

Volunteer Opportunities

There are several openings on the board, and plenty of areas where volunteers can help out the soccer community.  If you are interested in becoming more involved, let us know!

We are looking for help in the following areas:  

• Officer - Secretary
• Referee Assignor / Assitant Referee Assignor
• Registrar / Assistant Registrar
• Coaches
• Team Parents
• Referees
• Pre-K / Kindergarten Help

Volunteer Registration Requirements

As volunteers, board members, coaches, referees, and assistants - all of us must comply with certain registration steps in order to work with and around children.  Please make sure that you follow all of the steps outlined.  

• For detailed information about our volunteer registration policies click here.
• For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Compliance Coordinator, Brian DuPont at  .

If you coached with us in the Fall 2019 season... Please do NOT create a new account on the Youth Soccer Connect / MA Youth Soccer Registration website (http://marlboro.mayouthsoccerconnect.org/). Instead, start with page 3 of our step-by-step Registration Guide, and log in with the credentials you established last Fall. If you don't remember the password to your account, there is an option on the page to reset it.    

If you're new to coaching this Spring (or didn't coach last Fall)... Welcome! As a new coach, you'll need to complete our Volunteer Registration Process. Requirements are detailed on our Volunteer Registration website and I'm happy to answer any questions you have along the way.

Simple rules of thumb:

1. The City can close the fields or leave it to the MYS discretion. 
2. If left to MYS:

• Weekdays - Status is updated on the website by 3pm.
• Weekends - Early Games - Status is updated by 7am for all games before 12:00 noon.
• Weekends - Afternoon Games - Status is updated by 11am for all games at or after 12:00 noon. 

3. Coaches and Referees may also cancel events if:
    - the weather turns bad
    - there are puddles / standing water in multiple areas on your field
    - otherwise unsafe conditions.
