BYSC TRAVEL SOCCER PROGRAM
The mission of Bedford Youth Soccer Club's Travel program is to encourage and achieve clean competition and good sportsmanship. Our strategy is to promote, conduct and sponsor youth soccer under and in accordance with the laws of the United States Soccer Federation. To develop the skill level for girls and boys from U9 through U16.
As a travel soccer program, we are required to conduct yearly tryouts each spring. Teams will be formed based on tryout evaluations and previous team make up. There is no guarantee a player will be selected for a specific team.
There are selective costs incurred throughout the season for each player (trainer, uniforms, tournaments). Anyone interested in trying out should check the Calendar for dates and times of tryouts. Try-outs for the Fall 2008 - Spring 2009 Season will be held in May 2008 at the Bedford Village Memorial Park on Greenwich Street (see age-specific schedule which will be posted in April 2008).
The Travel Program consists of both a Fall and a Spring season - there is only one annual registration. Please click on the Typical Questions Tab for other questions or Contact Us.
