Spring 2013: Saturdays, 4/6 – 6/15 (no Memorial Day games).
Beginning in the spring of third grade, players from Lexington have the option to play on travel teams which participate in the Boston Area Youth Soccer league (BAYS). The U10-U14 divisions play for 10 Saturdays each Fall and U9-U14 in the Spring at various times. The U16-U19 play on a travel team only in the spring and have a recreational program in the fall (see the U16-U19 tab for more information). All travel teams have 2 practices per week. The schedule for these is determined by the coach. The coach is responsible for letting the team know the practice schedule at least a week before the season begins. Practice schedules are posted on this website under the schedules tab.
U9/10 BAYS Travel
U9, U10 and U11 travel is offered as an alternative option on the LUSC player registration along with the current in-town program for players in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. Teams are formed based on the last current coach ratings, spring evaluation sessions and from the previous playing season and play in the Boston Area Youth Soccer (BAYS) league. All players participating in the travel program will follow all current BAYS by-laws ruling as written. This also pertains to making an effort, depending on level and numbers of player sign-ups, to place teams in BAYS Divisions 1-4 according to ability level. All efforts will be made to place all players wishing to travel, certain exceptions may be necessary to limit numbers if teams fall outside of preferred size. Cut-off will then be based on actual “sign-up” date of player in which case “in-town” will be the only available option.
