District Select Tournament

Mass Youth Soccer sponsors a summer soccer program called the District Select Program. Cities and towns throughout the Commonwealth are combined into districts of roughly equal population. In most years, we operate with eight districts, although teams are not always formed in eligible age groups within each district. 

The District Select Program was originally formed to identify a pool of players in each age group from which an ODP team would be selected. Today it is used primarily as a means to allow the continuation of the player's development during the summer. 

On an annual basis each District holds tryouts to determine the players to participate in their respective groupings. The Program utilizes single year age groups for boys and girls, Under 12 through Under 16, and for the Under 19 age group. Each district is responsible for scheduling their tryouts independently. 

The season runs approximately four weeks -- it starts on the first weekend following the 4th of July and ends with a tournament the first weekend of August. All district teams are eligible to participate in the tournament.
