Charlton Youth Soccer (CYS) was established in 1999 as a volunteer based, non-profit 501c organization. CYS is a member of
Midland Area Youth Soccer (MAYS) and
Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). We are located in Central Massachusetts and serve approximately 1100 players between our Spring and Fall in-town and travel youth soccer programs.
In-town
The Charlton Youth Soccer In-Town Program consists of several age groups from Under 6 to Under 14. This is a Recreational Program, which is intended for fun and not designed to be highly competitive. All children, regardless of skill level will play equally. Coaches are encouraged to teach soccer fundamentals, good sportsmanship and teamwork. The In-Town program has proven to be a lot of fun and a great building block for those players who want to develop the skills required to enter the Travel program.
Travel
The Charlton Youth Soccer Travel Program consists of age groups from U10 and older. These teams are selected from open tryouts that are held twice each year. These teams play more competitive soccer against other towns. Several of these teams also compete in tournaments throughout the state. Although it is encouraged that all players play in each game, playing time may not be equal. Coaches are chosen by the Board of Directors and must meet eligibility requirements.
