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.
Milton Soccer is reaching out looking for new buddies (kids in grades 7th-12th) to volunteer in our TOPSoccer program. Review the information below and let us know if your child is interested.
TOPSoccer is a program for all athletes with intellectual, emotional, and or physical disabilities. The program strives to provide soccer opportunities (the opportunity of soccer) for players to develop at their own pace in a safe, fun, and supportive/inclusive environment.
Buddy Role: The buddy monitors and interacts with coaches, parents for the players, and players. Buddies assist, create, and guide players in having FUN as they learn the game of soccer. Also, buddies are aware of players likes/dislikes, safety concerns, and can adjust the activity to help the player be successful.
Buddy Expectations:
- Dates: 6 Sundays from September 25th - November 5th, no session on Oct. 9th
- Volunteer Time Earned: 20 hours (attending all sessions)
- Times: 3:45-5:00pm
- Location: Milton Healthcare Soccer Fields, 1200 Brush Hill Road, Milton

Milton Soccer families, please read and abide by the following requests from Point32Health while attending Milton Soccer events at their facility and on their fields:
There is no parking on the grass. We have been granted ample parking in their garage. Restrooms are also located in the West Garage, so please use these, and only these restrooms.
There is handicap parking by the tennis courts with a paved sidewalk to the field.
Please stay off of the patio and out of the fountain.
Milton Soccer needs to ensure a cooperative partnership with Point32Health as they have graciously provided us access to their fields. Please do your part in ensuring that our kids have this space to play in the future, and respect the very basic requests from Point32Health.
Thank you.
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.

Due to changes in the US Center for SafeSport and US Soccer Federation policy, athletes 18 or over who may interact with Minor Athletes, have more responsibilities to Milton Soccer/Mass Youth Soccer, under state and federal law than they had as a minor.
What does this mean?
Please use this link to access the SafeSport Adult Athlete Prevention Training Help Guide. Detailed instructions on how to complete the required SafeSport Abuse Prevention Training. Also included in the help guide is the US Soccer access code that is needed to take the training for free.
Mass Youth Soccer is excited to share with you the Every Kid Sports Pass which offers qualifying income-restricted families up to $150 per child towards their registration fees for youth sports activities up to four times a year. In every town and program across the state, there are children who are unable to participate in sports programs for economic reasons.
To be eligible to receive a pre-paid visa to help cover registration fees, families need to provide Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC supporting documents containing the child’s name and show active effective dates (within 12 months).
Please note, the Every Kid Sports Pass is eligible only for Youth Recreational level programs (e.g. Town Travel / Intown / Recreational programs lasting longer than 4 week). Clubs, travel, tournament, elite, personal training, camps, and programs that cost more than $500 do NOT qualify.
Mass Youth Soccer will be raising awareness of this incredible opportunity to our full membership and beyond in November as the majority of our member programs begin opening registration for the Spring soccer season and Winter programming. Please help us to raise awareness of the Every Kid Sports Pass program by using all available avenues to promote this opportunity to families in your community!

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…
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 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
