We are the town travel soccer organization for Brookline, Ma, with 3rd-8th grade teams competing in the fall and spring seasons of the BAYS league.

News and Updates

Fall 2020 Season

Overview
The state of Massachusetts has classified soccer as a moderate risk sport. This classification allows the Brookline Soccer Club to move forward with plans for a Fall 2020 Season and to place teams in the BAYS Town Travel League. The BSC will follow a strict set of COVID-19 Policies developed by Mass Youth Soccer and the Brookline Health Department. BAYS is planning for a 10 game season starting 9/12. There is still uncertainty as to how the fall season will unfold, but the BSC is committed to forming teams that will train (1-2x/week) and compete at the least restrictive level allowed by BAYS, Mass Youth Soccer and the Town of Brookline. The BSC Fall Season will start on 9/7/2020 and conclude 10 weeks later on 11/14/20.

***Warning: The BSC has a 6 day window to register players and form teams so that we can make the BAYS deadline. Returning players must register by Wednesday, 8/12.***

Refund Policy and Financial Aid

In the event that programming is canceled, interrupted or altered, the BSC will apply any saved expenses towards reducing Spring 2021 fees.  To apply for financial aid please contact BSC Registrar, Ben Peters (benpeters@brooklinesoccer.org).

New Players in Grade 3 - BSC House League

The BSC lacks confidence that the BAYS League will include a 3rd grade division this fall. The BSC, like all the other town programs in our region, had no way of executing a safe and equitable tryout prior to the fall season. Therefore, the BSC will create a Third Grade House League as a bridge towards the Spring 2021 season.

• Anyone needing financial aid should email a request to BSC Registrar, Ben Peters prior to registering.
• Format: Ideally 7v7 but this can be adjusted to a smaller sized format (5v5) if needed to form an appropriate number of teams for league play (4-8 teams).
