A Note from the BYSA Board:
Fall 2026 Registration Update
Dear Beverly Youth Soccer Families,
As we prepare for the Fall 2026 season, the Beverly Youth Soccer Board would like to share an important update regarding our registration fees. Our primary goal is to provide a high-quality soccer experience for the youth of Beverly, and to sustain that mission, the Board has approved a fee increase for the upcoming season.
This decision follows a thorough review of our operating expenses over the past several years. While we strive to keep soccer affordable, we are facing significant upward pressure from the costs required to run the association. We have seen rising costs across nearly every category of our budget, including:
- Field maintenance — surging costs for lining and upkeep of our playing fields
- Equipment — providing safe, high-quality gear now requires a substantially larger investment
- Referee services — ensuring qualified, reliable officiating has seen a large cost increase
- League & tournament fees — moderate increases reflecting broader regional youth sports trends
- Administrative costs — website, technology, and insurance have also seen moderate increases
Scholarship assistance is available.
The Board remains deeply committed to ensuring every child in Beverly has the opportunity to play, regardless of financial circumstances. If the new fee structure presents a hardship for your family, we strongly encourage you to apply for a confidential scholarship through our website. We have historically dedicated funds to support families in need, and we continue to prioritize this program.
Registration for Fall 2026 will open soon. You can find more information about the season, the updated fee schedule, and the scholarship application process at bevsoccer.org.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for being a vital part of the Beverly Youth Soccer community.
Sincerely,
The Beverly Youth Soccer Board
Frequently Asked Questions
Fees, Refunds & Financial Assistance
Can I get a refund?
BYSA offers refunds only in the event of documented injury or a player moving away from Beverly. Attendance/transportation issues, team placement preference, and scheduling challenges are not refundable issues.
Is financial assistance available?
BYSA makes scholarships available for players with financial hardships. Please contact us for more information about applying for financial assistance.
Is there a discount for multiple children?
We do not currently offer discounts for multiple children registering, but financial assistance may be available if needed. Please contact us for more information about applying for financial assistance.
Early-Bird Discount: There is an early-bird discount for Spring seasons through December 31 of the prior year. Register early!
Tryouts & Team Placement
Who needs to attend tryouts?
All players from Grades 5–8, and incoming Grade 3–4 players interested in playing for our ECYSA travel teams must attend tryouts. BYSA strongly encourages all Grade 3–4 players to attend a tryout session, as this allows us to better balance teams.
Can my child attend more than one tryout session?
Your child may attend one or both sessions. The tryout with the higher score will be used for team placement.
What should my child bring to tryouts?
Your child should bring TWO recent, 1"x1" printed photos (for ECYSA player cards), water, and a great attitude to tryouts.
Could my child be cut from the program at tryouts?
No! Beverly Youth Soccer Association tryouts are for team placement, not team selection. All players registered for a program prior to tryouts will be placed on a skill-appropriate team. We have teams for ALL ability and experience levels.
What if my child only wants to register for one season?
In order to be considered for placement on a competitive (MTOC) team for Grades 5–8, players must register for our full program — both the Fall and Spring seasons. Players registering for only one season will be seeded on a recreational (ECYSA County) team appropriate to their skill level.
