Evaluations are a process by which all players are evaluated for team placement based on skill level. Placement on a travel team requires every player to be evaluated by coaches and evaluators. Each player must attend one of the scheduled evaluation days. This occurs at the end of each Spring season, typically in May/June of each year for the following Fall and Spring seasons. 3rd grade Players MUST attend travel tryouts to be considered for a travel team. All other travel age groups, attendance is highly encouraged to ensure proper team placement.
MHYSA will make every effort to announce the placement results by the mid July via email, with the coach of the team to contact players shortly thereafter. In the event that results are delayed, check the website for additional information on the status of placements.
If players only want to participate in the Spring 2025 season and not the Fall 2024 season, that player should register now for the fall season, but should not check out, let the registrar know and plan to participate in the Travel Tryout sessions. There is no cost to do this. This will allow an evaluation and help with placement for Spring 2025, but this will not "hold a specific roster spot" for a player. That child will also be required to register, as normal, for Spring 2025 when that registration system is up and running in November 2024. Any questions regarding choosing this option should be sent to our Registrar, Tasha Griffin [email protected]

MHYSA Travel Program
The MHYSA Travel program is affiliated with the Boston Area Youth Soccer League (BAYS). Teams are organized by gender, age and skill level. These teams travel to other towns to play in a more competitive game situation.
Travel Teams play a 10 game season, 5 games are played home and 5 away. Games are held each Saturday, with start times for these games typically between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Home games are played at fields in Milford or Hopedale. Note: Makeup games can be scheduled weekdays/weekends at varying times.
Typically there are one or two practices per week (usually weeknights) depending on the age group. Please note however, that practices are held at the discretion of the volunteer coach based on his/her availability/work schedule, etc.
MHYSA tryouts are more appropriately called placements, as all children in the 3rd-8th grade programs that both register by the deadline and tryout are placed on a travel team. Children that do not meet both of these criteria will be placed on the waiting list and given a roster spot should one become available.
MHYSA will make every effort to announce the placement results by the beginning of July via email, with the coach of the team to contact players shortly thereafter. In the event that results are delayed, check the website for additional information on the status of placements.
