Hey Travel Coaches!  We want to share goal safety reminders, parking information and session tips from the Coaching Manual for all age groups. 

GOAL SAFETY

Video provided by MYSA on how to properly move a goal.  Following the tips in moving a goal and safety tips below will prolong the lifetime of our goals and prevent someone getting hurt.

PARKING

Parking is a big issue on Milton Soccer Fields. Please email this to the opposing coaches prior to games.

Flatley

• We strongly urge carpooling because parking can run out.
• Designated parking lots are to the left as you enter from Neponset Valley Parkway or behind the building.
• NO PARKING on grass/road through parking lots. This is a medical facility and emergency vehicles need to get through.
• NO PARKING in MHC patient/family parking.
• NO PARKING on Neponset Valley Parkway or Brush Hill Road.
• DROP-OFF ONLY in front of the building.
• Milton Police are ticketing.

Point32Health

• Fields are located behind the building. Plenty of parking is available in either garage.
• DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS!
• PLEASE STAY OFF THE PATIO AND FOUNTAIN WALL AT POINT 32. 
• Restrooms are in the Western Garage, closest to the baseball field.

And that's a wrap!  Milton Soccer's very first summer camp came to a close this week.  Led by Milton High Coach Patrick Ellis, campers worked alongside Milton High School Soccer Players on passing and receiving, finishing, ball manipulation, and speed and agility, and enjoyed technical development and games with a fun environment for campers to grow and develop their love for soccer.  

Thank you to the players, families, and coaches for a great week of soccer! Big shout out to Coach Ellis for making this happen. We hope everyone had fun!!

Hello coaches!  We wanted to take a moment to remind and highlight some of the Administrative components of coaching. These activities are critical to the successful management of your team and our BAYS league.

Please take a moment to review this linked article.  The information found there has also been emailed out to all of our coaches.

BAYS is launching their RESPECT Campaign and are asking that the BAYS community join together to help make the youth soccer experience the best it can be for all of our players, coaches, referees, clubs, parents, and fans.

Learn more about the BAYS RESPECT Campaign here and on the BAYS website.

Milton Soccer is committed to increasing player, coach, and board member diversity so that the program demographics accurately reflect that of our town. As an organization we stand behind and welcome all who wish to participate in Milton Soccer. By launching our ”No Room for Racism”  campaign, we want to show support for the families of Milton and renounce any racism they may have experienced in our town, schools, and sports. As a board we are making available No Room for Racism practice jerseys, beanies, and face masks that may be purchased in our Team Shop (available soon) and the voluntary wearing of these items.

We will also be displaying No Room for Racism banners at Milton Soccer Fields. We believe that the organization should be welcoming and actively anti-racist. Staying silent, especially now, shows acceptance of the status quo and our organization is committed to moving forward to a more welcoming and racially diverse program.

Milton soccer does not condone discrimination or bullying in any form. Practice jerseys, beanies, and masks will be available to parents who would like to purchase them, and it is a parental choice to have a player wear them.

Please click here if you would like to view and/or purchase these items from the store.  Thanks!

Sincerely,

Milton Soccer Board
