FALL SOCCER UPDATE
On behalf of the BSA, thank you for signing your child up for the upcoming soccer season. We are confident that the kids will have a fun and memorable year and are delighted to return to the BAYS (Boston Area Youth Soccer) League for our 4th - 8th grade travel soccer program.
We want to be clear - we do not yet know what Covid 19 policies will be in place for the season. This is an area of uncertainty, but be sure assured that we will take guidance from all governing bodies which impact us -- state and local boards of health, as well as BAYS and its governing organization, Mass Youth Soccer Association.
