Soccer leagues and development programs for the youth of Beverly, MA
Pre-K/Kindergarten
Our Pre-K/Kindergarten program offers our tiniest players the opportunity to get started playing the game of soccer in a fun and supportive environment that teaches fundamental skills and the basics of game play.
When: Saturday Mornings
Where: North Beverly Elementary School
Grade 1-2
Our Grade 1-2 program is geared towards teaching the basics of the game. Real games with real referees and separate practices allow kids to develop skills and take initial competitive steps.
Teams practice 1-2 times per week during the season. Players have a DoC (Director of Coaches) led practice every Tuesday or Thursday at Beverly Middle School. Coaches may also opt to conduct a second practice with their teams at another time during the week.
Grade 3-4
We offer both Cross-Town teams which compete with other Beverly, Salem, and Danvers teams, as well as competitive ECYSA travel teams at the Grade 3-4 Level. Our player development-focused curriculum is centered around preparing young players for their first exposure to competitive soccer.
Girls have a DoC (Director of Coaches) led practice every Monday and Boys have a DoC-led practice every Wednesday at BMS. Coaches conduct a second practice with their teams at another time during the week. Games are on Saturday Mornings.
ECYSA Travel Soccer (Grades 5-10)
At the higher age levels, BYSA places teams in Essex County Youth Soccer Association (ECYSA). Players of all skill level are welcome, as we place teams from recreational players who just enjoy playing all the way up through the highest competitive levels.
