******
EFFECTIVE JULY 16th, 2019:
A new Adult and CORI registration procedure has been implemented. Now, all adults must first complete the Mass Youth Soccer Adult Registration process. All adults (persons age 18 and older) are required to register directly with Mass Youth Soccer using the new platform. When you have completed that registration, please return to the Fall 2019 Volunteer Online Registration page: https://leagueathletics.com/Registration/Restrictions.asp?n=153095&org=MAIL.NEWBURYPORTSOCCER.COM to complete the simple fields below and hit Submit at the end in order for the basic information to be loaded into our local NYSA database. Both steps must be completed: Mass Youth Soccer platform and the NYSA page.
You will be prompted to create a username and password. This website will provide you with everything you need to complete the volunteer requirements: uploading a photo, CORI/SORI/background check, a link to the concussion awareness training (U12/U14/U18 only), and a link to the abuse prevention training (U12/U14/U18 only). You (as well as the administrators) will be able to track and see which portions of your requirements have been fulfilled all in one spot. If you took the concussion training last summer, you will have the chance to upload your certificate (PDF) and have it approved by MA Youth Soccer. If you cannot locate your certificate or took it more than a year ago, you will need to complete the training again. Remember- the referee will ask you to leave the sideline, if not the entire field, if you do not have the required credentials. Our CORI/Risk Manager, Omni Raimo, will be checking the database frequently to print new lanyards for this season. Below is an outline of what to expect on the new platform:
CORI/SORI- be prepared with your drivers license and previous addresses if you have been at your address for less than 7 years.
U12/U14/U18 only Concussion Training- this takes about 30 minutes and I believe expires after 2 years. This is primarily an audio training and easy to listen to and watch at home/commute/multitasking. You will need to answer some multiple choice questions at the end.
U12/U14/U18 only Abuse Prevention- this is the newest addition related to the Safe Soccer Policy. You will be taken to another site to complete this but it will automatically be uploaded to your mass youth soccer connect profile when completed and you can print your certificate for safe keeping. Create a username and password on this site as well on the chance that you don’t finish the training in one sitting. It will take about 1.5 hours. Subsequent years require a 15 minute “refresher.” You will be asked to answer a few multiple choice questions after completing each section of the training. This training is both audio/visual as well as a good amount of reading. Be advised- there are of course incredibly sensitive topics discussed throughout this training.
Boys born on or after 08/01/09 through 8/31/11 (or entering/enrolled in 3rd or 4th grade).
Practice:
Practices for all older divisions (U8 and U10) will be held once per week for U8 and once (1x) to twice (2x) per week for U10 in Newburyport. The specific times for the weekly practices in Newburyport for U8 and U10 are determined by the coaches of each team based on their schedules and can be held any time between 4:00pm-7:30pm, Mondays through Fridays. Please note that the league will not issue refunds for players who have a conflict with their teams' designated practice times, nor will the league switch players to another team based on practice time conflicts.
Games:
Games are played on Saturdays and the hours range from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please note the following game schedule below for the SPRING 2020 season:
TBD
Fields:
Currently there are three Newburyport field locations, Cherry Hill, Cashman and Woodman Park. The teams "travel" to Groveland, West Newbury and Merrimac� for games. Field location and directions can be found on the field and directions tab. Specific field detail can be found under the documents tab.
Uniforms:
Uniforms (shirt and socks) are not part of the registration fee and can be purchased at Amesbury Skate and Sport. The current uniforms are reversible (Maroon and Gold) and the cost is approximately $45. These uniforms are designed to last through several seasons if care is taken. Information and directions on how to get to Amesbury Skate and Sport can be found at the following link. http://www.amesburysport.com/.
Equipment:
ALL children participating in an NYSA program are required to have the following basic equipment:
Shin pads are a MUST!
Soccer shoes with rubber cleats (no metal), cleats cannot have a center "toe" cleat (i.e., most baseball cleats have one).
Regulation soccer ball. The size of the ball depends upon your child's age group. We suggest that each player have a stitched ball (as opposed to a hard seamless ball) of proper size. Soccer balls come in 3 different sizes: 3, 4, & 5. The ball size is shown on the ball. Also, look for a stamp that says either "official size & weight" or "FIFA Approved". Even if a ball is the official weight, some balls are heavier & harder than others. Don't get a ball that is too heavy or hard (some seamless balls are especially hard). Some balls are so hard that it is painful to kick them. If you have a choice, a shiny, waterproof surface is best because it won't absorb water & will last longer. Test the ball to see if it's round & will fly straight by tossing it into the air with a lot of spin on it to see if it wobbles. U-6 & U-8 (i.e., Under-6 & Under-8) use a size 3; U-10 & U-12 use a size 4; and U-13 & older use a size 5 ball).
Water bottles at practice AND at games are a MUST!
