Charlestown Soccer Placement Field Evaluations for our Travel Program, 2018/2019 Season

Placement evaluations for Charlestown Soccer’s Fall 2018 travel soccer season will take place over the course of the first two weeks in June.  Sessions will run for roughly one hour and 15 minutes, following the check in period. Placements are field evaluations of all our potential players conducted by independent contractors, and are used to create rosters that fit into appropriate divisions within the Middlesex Youth Soccer League. The schedule and details on what’s involved are below.

All placements will take place at the Charlestown High School fields on Medford Street.  There is limited parking immediately next to the Charlestown High School field, so please walk if at all possible.

All players will be required to register in order to participate in the placements. Registration for the Fall 2018 season is now open on the CYSA website at http://charlestownsoccer.com/Registration. Please register at least 24 hours prior to your placement session, because the placement system needs to be primed with the registration data.

If you are not ready or able to commit to playing in Fall 2018 at this time, but want to attend the evaluation session to inform a Spring 2019 team placement, please register at http://assn.la/Reg/?r=2:175989 which is a $0 registration that ensures we have the player information in our system.

Players move up to the next age division based upon their grade, with some additional date of birth limits. When registering, please confirm the accuracy of your player’s grade in the system, and email info@charlestownsoccer.com if the grade or date of birth on record are incorrect.

Please carefully review the times below and the age groups to make sure you are entering your player into the correct placement session.

Placements will take place rain or shine (unless there is an extreme weather event).

If a player was born before the age cutoff for their school grade grouping, he or she will need to play in the next higher grade grouping. Contact to help with such a registration.

The outcome of the placement session is not the only component used in evaluating players. The more information the team placement committee has, the better your chances of accurate placement. However, it is understood that unavoidable conflicts can arise, and if you find yourself in that position you MUST contact Charlestown Soccer at to discuss the possibilities of a makeup.

If a player is unable to attend evaluations, they will be placed on a team based upon whatever information is available.

Please go to our website for more details on how we select players for travel teams and for answers to frequently asked questions.

Registration is Open for the Fall 2018 Soccer Season

It may seem like the Spring season has only recently gotten into full swing, but we open Fall registration now to facilitate the independent evaluations session that we run every spring for travel program players, which includes rising 3rd graders and older, for the 2018-2019 school year.  We will be announcing the independent evaluations schedule shortly.

We also have to submit our travel team rosters to the Middlesex Youth Soccer League by the beginning of July.

Since we have many families with players spanning the travel and in-house programs, we open registration at the same time to make things easier.

Register at:

http://register.charlestownsoccer.com

NOTE: If you have previously participated in CYSA, please use your existing login and email info@charlestownsoccer.com if you need help.  We set waitlist thresholds for each age group, based on field space constraints and Middlesex Youth Soccer roster size limits. So register early to ensure a spot.

Below is more information about the programs:

• In-House Program (grades kindergarten through 2 grade for the 2018-2019 school year) - Kindergarten (K2) will have a 1 hour session on Saturday mornings, while 1st and 2nd graders will have a Saturday morning session AND a Monday evening session.  Saturday morning sessions will fall between 8am and 10am, with the schedule to be finalized closer to opening day, based on our registration numbers.
   
• Travel Program (grades 3 through 8 for the 2018-2019 school year) - Late fees are assessed starting July 2nd, 2018, since the CYSA board needs to submit division placement requests and initial rosters to the Middlesex Youth Soccer League in early July 2018.

Steve Belge, a parent of travel and in-house program players, CYSA coach, and hobbiest photography wanted to share these photos he is starting to build up for this current CYSA season:

NOTE: He expects to take more over the course of the season, but this is just a hobby, so there should be no expectations that your child's team and/or your child themselves will necessarily make it into this.  But enjoy!

Thanks Steve!

Practice will start the week of March 26 with the first matches of the season set for April 7.
