Hello, Bridgewood Youth Soccer (BYS)!

Picture Day is Oct 15th! VSN will be coming out to the soccer field to take ALL the teams’ pictures on Saturday, Oct 15th. Picture order forms have been included with your uniforms. Please fill them out ahead of time and bring them with you on the 15th. All teams will be taking their pictures on the same day so please be ready at your scheduled time. We ask that all children show up to take the team picture even if you don’t plan on ordering any pictures for yourself. The schedule for picture day is below.

Games and practices are held at Bridgewood Park on Vollmer Ln, Bridgewood Youth Soccer (BYS) is our awesome open to all communities, low-cost, and non-competitive children’s soccer league for ages 4 through 13. BYS’s goal is to get kids outside, meet new friends, and have a great time while learning how to play in a team environment. We focus on fun, outdoor exercise, and learning how to play soccer! In our league, we prioritize fairness and teamwork. We do not keep scores. Players are encouraged to value the experience and fun they are having rather than whether they are winning or losing. We are truly happy you are here and excited that you will learn all about BYS!

Coaches:

Bridgewood Youth Soccer’s insurance coverage requires all Committee, Coaches, and Referees over the age of 18 to undergo a background check and take the online child safety training course. All volunteers of BYS take this check and training. Otherwise, legally, we are not allowed to have you volunteer for the league. You should have received an email from BYS Comisoner Brandon. If not please contact him asap. First, you will fill out the background check. Then within a few days, you will receive an email from averity.com with instructions on completing the child safety training. Once this is complete, you will be covered for one year. Please complete the check and training as soon as possible, but no later than Aug 29th when practices are scheduled to start. Please email your training certificates once complete to [email protected] If you have any technical issues or questions, please let me know, Brandan BYS Commissioner
