TOWN SELECT LEAGUE (TSL), WHO ARE WE & HOW CAN THE TSL

BENEFIT YOUR CHILD & ENHANCE THEIR LOVE OF THE GAME?

As youth soccer players prepare for their practices and games each week, the one question going through their mind often is ‘Will I

have fun today’? Experiencing joy, and a sense of belonging in a positive learning environment where mistakes are normalized as part of the development process, can be critical to the sustainability of the child’s participation in the sport of soccer

The Massachusetts Youth Soccer Town Select League provides such an opportunity for players in offering a non-standing, competitive league for players 10U-14U Players from several Massachusetts communities who wish to also play for their local town team, can participate in a modified ‘club like’ experience with less time commitment & travel at an affordable cost Joy of the game, commitment to player development, and the value of being a great teammate, are the program’s principle We pride ourselves in encouraging our players, families, coaches, and staff to experience the foundation of our program which supports the process of player development over the pressure of a game result. We do support a winning mentality and urge our participants to play to win, however the result rarely defines the individual growth we seek.

The TSL is also an appealing choice for children who are multi-sport athletes For those participants who desire to play in a league or sport outside of their local town soccer program and have limited time to commit to additional practices and games each week, our program enables children to do both With TSL, we practice on Friday evening and one game every other Sunday with very few exceptions We choose our practice and game days with the intention of not interfering with the town schedule so that children can stay connected locally as well as extend their playing experience regionally Our program is designed to work in cooperation and not in conflict with the local town programs We also work with the children who wish to participate in other sports as well

For players who want to learn more and be part of a team and have the opportunity to play with like skilled players from different towns within their region, TSL may be a perfect fit for your child Participants who have graduated from our program have formed lasting relationships with their teammates. Now, when they see their new friends on the opposite side of the field on different days or even different sports, it becomes a friendly competition and a fun experience.

While the TSL is currently offered to players in and around the BAYS, Essex, CMYSL, Middlesex, & Nashoba Valley League and our newest territory ROOTS in Western Mass this fall, it is our goal to continue to expand and connect our program with as many towns as possible around the state As we head into our tryout season in May and early June, we invite you to view our TSL Website to learn more about our program as well as the dates/locations/times/ages of our tryouts Tryouts are free
