Each spring, Milton Travel Soccer players entering 3rd-8th grade for the fall season, participate in player evaluations. These evaluations are used to place players on appropriate level teams with players of similar skill and ability. The teams will compete in the BAYS league at similar levels of competition. 

Evaluations are conducted through three approaches.

1. Coach Evaluations: Each player is evaluated by their travel team coach at the end of each season.
2. In-Game Evaluations (PILOT PROGRAM IN 2023): Second graders who will be joining the travel program in the fall as third graders will be evaluated in the final 2 or 3 regular weeks (not world cup weekend) of K-2 program games. All second graders should be evaluated in Group Evaluations in 2023 while we pilot this approach.
3. Group Evaluations: Players will be grouped by age, organized into small-sided games and evaluated by professional coaches.  
   1. Group evaluations will be conducted during the below dates and times. Players can attend both days and strongly suggest attending one than not attending any.

Milton Youth Soccer is a volunteer-led, non-profit community soccer program for youth players in Milton to learn the skills of soccer, enjoy the commitment and camaraderie of a team, and develop a love of the sport. We offer programs in both fall and spring seasons for PRE-K (Age s 3-5); K-2+ LEAGUE (Grades K-3); TRAVEL LEAGUE (Grades 3-8); and TOPSoccer LEAGUE (athletes with special needs).

PRE-K: Milton’s Pre-K program introduces kids to soccer through group activities that blend social play, fun and the basic skills of soccer. This program is open to kids ages 3 - 5 and normally runs in the Fall & Spring. The kids are engaged in fun themed sessions conducted by professional soccer instructors. The sessions focus on learning fundamentals of dribbling, passing and shooting in a fun environment while being a bit silly. There are no teams involved.  Registration for the Pre-K program will open at the same time as Travel and K-2+ Programs and typically can accommodate ~300 players in a season. Any players above the limit will be placed on a wait list.  While we don ’t need parent v olunteer coaches at this a ge, please plan to volunteer coach when your kids enter the K-2+ program.  When registering, please notate which session (AM/PM/NP (No Preference)) you might be interested in.  Please know that this does not automatically guarantee session placement due to the large player population. 

K-2+ LEAGUE:  The K-2+ program focuses on teaching kids the fundamentals of soccer through a graduated approach based on age/capabilities. This program is open to kids in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. This program runs on Saturdays or Sundays for 75 minutes. Players are assigned to teams with parent volunteer coaches. A professional coach also attends each session to support parent volunteers. Each week features a skills session followed by a controlled game. K-2+ is open to all Milton residents and students at any Milton school. You may submit one player or coach request (only considered for on-time registrations.) All games are played in Milt on.  

TRAVEL LEAGUE: Our Travel League offers players in Grades 3-8 an opportunity to advance skills and compete against teams from other towns in the BAYS League. Travel League is open to all Milton residents and students at any Milton school.Games are held on Saturdays and include 5 home and 5 away games (typically within 1-hr drive.) Volunteer parent coaches host team practices. Teams are formed based on evaluation scores with the goal of grouping players of similar skill and ability levels. (Age group evaluations will be held each Spring. Coaches are expected to submit evaluations following each season.) Each team is then placed into an appropriately competitive secti on in the BAYS league.  YOU MUST R EGISTER ON TIME TO GUARANT EE A SPOT ON A TRAVEL TEAM.

TOPSoccer LEAGUE: US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer is an Outreach Soccer Program for athletes with intellectual, emotional and or physical disabilities.  The program strives to provide soccer opportunities for players to develop at their own pace in a safe, fun and supportive/inclusive environment.  TOPSoccer is played Sunday afternoons.

TOPSoccer closed out the Spring season with a visit from Officer Polls and Officer Potts. The players had a blast passing the soccer ball, games and sitting in the police cruiser with the special guests.

Thank you Officers Potts & Polls for spending the day with us! Thank you to the players, families, and volunteers for great season!

Patrick and Sarah Donovan and their sons Jack and Tommy are long-time residents of Milton and have given so much to their community through the years.  Both boys have been a part of the Milton soccer family and continue to participate.  Last week the unspeakable happened to them, and they lost a good portion of their home to a fire. The response by the Milton Fire Department, State Police, and neighboring fire departments was strong, and the Donovans all made it out of the fire safe and alive. Their second-floor and personal belongings, however, are gone, and it is going to take some time for the insurance to sort out and for them to regroup. As part of the soccer support family, if there is anything you can do to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Below is a link to the GoFund Me page set up on their behalf.  No pressure at all to contribute but we felt it would be nice to share their story.

FAQ

What if I have multiple children in the program, but my code only redeems one ticket?

• If you have multiple children that play in the club, your code should allow you to redeem a free ticket for each of your children.

• If you are not able to redeem for all the players in your family, please reach out to our Revs Rep Abby Hutchinson @ [email protected] ASAP!

How does the seating work?

• Through the link above you can choose to sit wherever you want in the stadium!

Where are other families sitting? How would I navigate sitting with them?

• A good way to do this is to purchase tickets at the same time (after practice, after a game, etc.) as the families you wish to sit next to and select seats next to each other.
• Alternatively, anyone in the organization can always use the “WHO’S GOING” feature that will show you were families in your club chose to sit.

• Lastly you should recommend that parents/players share their purchases via text/email/social to the group within the group!
