What is DYS Registration? And Why is it so early?

The Danvers Youth Soccer registration occurs every spring. The interesting part of that statement is that spring registration is for soccer sign up for the Fall of the current year and Spring of the following year. The organization opens registration during the April/May timeframe mostly so that the travel soccer teams can conduct evaluations for team placement in May. This also allows for the directors to start ratings from the current season which initiates the processs of team formation for the intramural programs (U7 through U10 for Danvers). DYS occasionally opens the spring registration to encourage new players to join for the spring season (recent spring event from February to March).

Why only once?

Danver Youth Soccer conducts registration through a web-site called SportsPilot. This system enables us to track players, their information, form teams and communicate through on-line channels. A registration period runs from April through July for most age groups and from October/December for older age groups as they only play Spring soccer. We hold registration for DYS once per year to be more green in paper trails and on-ine transactions.

What does the registration fee cover?

Each player is charged a registration fee to cover registration to Mass Youth Soccer Association, referee charges, field preparation, and organizational costs. This is a non-profit organization with the goal of attracting the youth of Danvers to play soccer.
