As a reminder to all Milton Soccer Coaches, we want to stay on our toes and minimize the spread of COVID within our teams. We would like to take this time to ask you to remind your players and parents of a few things…  

• Ask your players’ parents to monitor their child’s health. If their child has any symptoms, even mild ones, do not send them to practice or a game 
• Avoid spitting, nose clearing on the field or spitting on gloves
• Minimize celebrations, hugs, handshakes, etc.
• No sharing of food or drinks
• Leave immediately after practice and games 

Milton Soccer follows MA Youth Soccer COVID Guidelines. Please review the guidelines.  Please contact Milton Soccer’s COVID Coordinator, Jaime Levash with any questions or COVID positive players or coaches. Thank you for your diligence.

Milton Soccer needs more women coaches in all of our programs. Youth Sport - at all levels of sport - is disproportionally coached by men, despite growing numbers of female participants.  Women coaches are very valuable female role models for the kids in our community.  Please see Why Women Sport Coaches Matter.  

For the fall of 2021 in all of our programs we currently have 69 female and 114 male volunters.  In our Travel Soccer program we have 29 female and 75 male coaches.  And on our board we currently have 5 female and 19 male members.  We would love to see these numbers closer to equal.

Milton Soccer will reimburse you for Mass Youth Soccer coaching courses.  We are working hard to improve our coach development program as well.  As a volunteer coach with Milton Travel Soccer you get to pick the day and time for practice that works best for your schedule.  (I realize this is trickier in the spring when soccer competes with other sports for field space but you still get to decide when practice takes place.)  You can also request to have a co-coach who can help out and cover for you when needed.

Women can coach!  

We would love to answer questions or concerns you might have about coaching or if you need assistance signing up to coach through AdminSports.  Please feel free to reach out to myself by replying to this email or our other female board members; Jaime Levash at [email protected], Tahani Rivers at [email protected], Jaymee Mannix at [email protected] and Sophie Tobias at [email protected].

We hope to see more women coaches in the fall!

As the Milton Soccer Spring 2021 Travel season approaches, it is important that all new players order a travel uniform.  It's advisable that all travel players dig out their current uniform to ensure it still fits!

The Milton Soccer Team Shop has uniforms and other Milton Soccer clothing and gear, so check it out!  Items include:

• No Room for Racism shirts, hats, and masks
• Adidas warm up jackets, shirts, and hoodies
• Scarves
• And the newest addition:  Adidas Milton Soccer backpacks.  Very durable and well up to the job of carrying school gear too!

Please click here or the "Team Shop" option from the main menu bar at the top of this page.  Milton Soccer's Team Shop is open year round.

Please park in designated parking lots ONLY.  We are at risk of losing our permit to use these fields for soccer, effective immediately. We are guests in our use of the fields, the space around the fields, and the parking lots. Please be polite and patient, but DO park ONLY in either the lot immediately to the left as you enter from Neponset Valley Parkway, or the lot behind Milton Healthcare. If there are no spots available, please drop off and arrange pick up. Parks and Rec suggest that the Milton Board regulate the area during all weekdays and weekends. We need your help to ensure we maintain our field permit. If you see anyone parking on the grass, please ask them politely to park in the lots.

Thank you for following COVID-19 Return To Play guidelines last weekend. For the most part, spot checks by the Board suggest that we were all doing our part to socially distance and wear face coverings at all times. Let’s keep this up so that we can continue a successful and fun season. It was great to see all the players this weekend enjoying the Beautiful Game.  Every game is a gift!
