Affiliated Organizations

Notice to New Organizations
Starting a new youth soccer organization is a huge commitment. It’s not as easy as getting a bunch of interested parents and players, picking out a name, collecting some money, putting together kits, and taking to the fields. New clubs should be started with a lot of serious thought and purpose. 

New youth soccer organizations that wish to be affiliated with Massachusetts Youth Soccer must submit the above items to the Executive Director in order to be considered for affiliation.

Consult the Member Toolkit web page to identify required content that must be included in your documents and operations.  These include information in the Governing Principles document, use of the Mass Youth Soccer required waiver template language and references to the Mass Youth Soccer policies for Discipline and Grievances.

Should the organization's documentation be deemed acceptable, it will receive written notice. Failure to provide an any of requirements noted above will result in a delay to the acceptance process.

In addition to required documents and proofs, the club President/Owner will have a phone or in-person interview with the Executive Director.
