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.  Boys have a DoC (Director of Coaches) led practice every Tuesday at North Beverly Elementary and Girls have a DoC-led practice every 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.
