Spring 2024 Registration!

Registration is now open for our Spring 2024 soccer programs.  Please use this link or the 'REGISTER' option in the top menu.  The deadline to register is January 7th (on January 8th waitlist and late fees apply).

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 (Ages 4-5); K-2+ LEAGUE (Grades K-3); TRAVEL LEAGUE (Grades 3-12).

PRE-K: The Milton Pre-K program introduces kids to soccer through group activities that blend basic soccer skills with lots of fun and games!  The program is taught and run by professional soccer instructors and will be offered to kids ages 4-5 (Kids must be 4 years old by 6/1 for the Spring, and 11/1 for the Fall).  Spring sessions will be held on Saturday or Sunday mornings and total program will be capped at 150 players.

K-2+ LEAGUE:  The K2+ 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.  The program runs on Saturdays or Sundays for 75 minutes (60 minutes for kindergarten).  Players are assigned to teams with parent volunteer coaches.  Each week features a skills session followed by a controlled game.  K2+ is open to all Milton residents and students at any Milton school.  Kindergarten players must be 5 years old by August 31st.

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 section in the BAYS league.  YOU MUST REGISTER ON TIME TO GUARANTEE A SPOT ON A TRAVEL TEAM. 

TOPSoccer:  TOPSoccer will run in the fall only for the time being so there won’t be a spring session in 2024.  See you all back next fall!

Grade 9-12 Travel League: Registration for our High School aged program will open at a later date.  The season starts in late April and runs for 7 weeks.  Games are played on Sundays but NOT played on the Memorial Day weekend.

No Room for Racism

No Room for Racism

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
