Swansea-Somerset Youth Soccer League (SSYSL) is NOW accepting registrations for the Fall 2008 Recreation Season. Our Fall season is for the recreational player who is either just learning to play the game or has played it for a number of years. The program is set up in single, co-ed age groups starting at U5 (4yrs old on or before 7/31/08) and continuing until U14 (13yrs old on or before 7/31/08). The fall season starts the last Saturday in August and runs through the first Sunday in November with Labor Day & Columbus Day weekends off. Most age groups play games on Saturdays between 8:30am and 4:30pm, U13/14 currently plays on Sundays. The schedule rotates so teams do not play the same time every week. For the initial couple of weeks of the season, the teams will also play one game a week on a weeknight in order to allow the children to play one or two additional games while we still have daylight in the evening. All games are played at North Elementary School in Somerset. The teams will have practice once or twice a week in the evening, which is at the coach’s discretion.

Based on the great success of the enforced cutoff date, we will once again NOT be accepting registrations after the June 1st deadline. In order to make registering your children as easy as possible, we have many locations that you can pickup/print out the registrations forms and two methods for submitting them to our league.

First, you can attend one of our in-person registration days that we will be having throughout the spring and the following is the schedule:

Sat 3/8        10-12 pm  SSYSL Indoor Facility, Fall River
Sat 3/22      10-12 pm SSYSL Indoor Facility, Fall River
Sat 4/5        10-12 pm  North Elementary School, Somerset (outside)
Sat 4/19      10-12 pm  North Elem School, Somerset (outside)
Sat 5/3        10-12 pm  North Elem School, Somerset (outside)
Wed 5/14    6-8 pm  North Elem School, Somerset (outside)
Sat 5/31      Last Day to Sign Up   10-1 pm  North Elem School, Somerset (outside)

If you can not attend one of the in-person registration day, you can pick up a registration form at the Somerset or Swansea town libraries or by clicking on the link below to print out a form. All you need to do is complete one form for every child you are registering and either drop it off at the in-person registration or mail it with your check to the PO Box that is listed at the top of the form. Please register as soon as possible since June 1st will be here before you know it and you don’t want to miss the date and not have your children play the great game of soccer.
 

 Opportunities To Get Involved With SSYSL

SSYSL is a league that has succeeded for over 25 years due to the parents who have volunteered their time to help make this league what it is today. Year after year we consistently have around 1,000 children playing soccer in the fall season and none of this can be done without the help of parents stepping forward to volunteer their time to be coaches, board members, team Mom & Dads, and referees. Soccer is a very easy sport to learn, teach and coach. We offer coaching clinics to show new coaches and parents fun games and skills that they can use with the children to teach them the game of soccer. You don’t have to be an expert in soccer and it doesn’t matter if you never played the game as a kid. All you need to do is be able to relate to kids and be organized. By learning some simple games, the kids will learn the skills practically on their own. You just need to guide and mentor them. If you are willing to volunteer your time to this great game and league, please contact one of the age group directors of the league since they would love to talk to you about how you can help. Call the league at 508.673.6423 and let us know that you want to help and someone will contact you.
 

 Sponsorship Opportunities

Our league also has a team sponsorship program where local businesses can sponsor either a single team or multiples. SSYSL is a non-profit/charitable organization where your contributions are tax deductible. As a sponsor, we will place your business’s name on the front of a team’s game shirt and we place you’re the name on the back cover of our fall booklet with a Thank You to all of our sponsors. Last year we started a new program for our sponsors to allow them to get more for their support. It’s simple, the more teams your sponsor, we give your business additional teams for FREE. Here is how the program works: if you sponsor one team, we will place your business name on one team’s shirt. However, once you sponsor two teams or more, you get additional teams for FREE. If you are interested in our sponsorship program, please visit our website for more information. With the help of local businesses in our community, through Donations and Sponsorships, we are able to offer affordable registration fees to all our soccer families. Sponsors enable many young children of our community to enjoy the great game of soccer, and more importantly they learn sportsmanship and team values.
