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
