BYSA House League

The 2025 BYSA House season begins on the Monday of Labor Day and ends on the last weekend in October.

Mission: The BYSA House League provides an instructional and fun program while promoting the values of commitment, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Format:

• Weekly practices are run by parent coaches/supported by professional staff

• Parent coaches are essential to the success of this program

• Saturday games

• Teams are created by gender- teams are not coed

Ages:

Players will be assigned teams based on their birth year, not their school grade. We understand that friends are sometimes in the same grade but born in different years, but we follow the birth year rule.

Important Note for U5 (2021) - Children in this age group can either play House League or mini kickers; they cannot play both. House league is described below. Mini kickers is less formal, with one session each week on Sundays.

Teams:

Teams are made based on a variety of factors. 

From year to year, players are placed with a variety of peers and coaches to promote social and physical development. Team and coach requests are not honored.

Friend requests are only available for U5-U7 through July. These are requests and are not guaranteed.

Friend requests made in August are very difficult to accommodate.

Coaches:

The success of the program relies on parent coaches. No experience is necessary. BYSA provides initial training and ongoing support and tips throughout the season.

2 parents are needed per team.

All Parent Coaches MUST:

• Complete an online background check (not the same as the school department’s) (5 minutes)

• Complete an online CDC course on concussion awareness and protocols (around an hour) - lasts for 3 years

• Complete an online SafeSport course on abuse prevention (couple of hours)- needs to be done every year

• These online courses are done at home, at your convenience.

Individual teams will not be allowed to practice until their coaches have completed all three training sessions.
