SYSA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear SYSA Players, Parents, Coaches and all Volunteers:
The
Swampscott Youth Soccer Association (SYSA) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to providing inclusive soccer programs to children of all skill
levels. Our goal is to teach and develop age-appropriate soccer skills in a
fun, supportive and safe environment, to allow the sport to be played in
competitive game environments, and to encourage a love for the game.
We seek to promote social development and self-confidence of our players,
as well as sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork for all players, coaches
and parents. Ultimately, the decisions regarding how our programs are
run are based on the best interests of our players.
Our
intramural teams participate in an "in town" soccer program,
while our travel teams play in the Essex County Youth Soccer Association
(ECYSA) league. Participation in the ECYSA league requires that our
travel program comply with various mandates of ECYSA (e.g., registration
dates, roster sizes, team placement, field size).
We
seek to encourage and support the training of our volunteer coaches, and to
support our coaches with the tools they need to succeed. Our coaches
are bound by the SYSA Code of Conduct, and all players, coaches, parents, spectators
and volunteers are bound by the ECYSA Zero Tolerance Policy. We encourage
all interested parties to familiarize themselves with these policies.
Many
of your questions can be answered by referring to the information on the
SYSA website, but please contact the appropriate SYSA official if you
should have questions or comments about our programs.
Sincerely,
Jack Steele
President/SYSA
