These players never regretted, nor forgot a single moment of their involvement on the fields of dreams on their home turf. The South Boston Youth Hockey League was established because the founders also had a dream. They wanted the city kids to enjoy the game of hockey, just like the suburban kids did. The result was that throughout the years many hockey teams won local, state, and national titles. The South Boston Youth Soccer League was established many years ago, and now has over 1200 players enjoying themselves during the fall weather down at Moakley Park.
Many players go on to play travel soccer, and for their high school teams.
Pop Warner Football, the old and new version, always drew and draws the best talent, was and is fun for everyone involved, and today captures the imagination of every youngster when he dons his gridiron uniform. The CYO sport's programs are the best in the state and New England. Many girls and boys have played basketball and softball in the successful programs run by Saint Brigid's, Saint Augustine's, and Gate of Heaven. Many boys and girls have gone on to compete on the high school and college level due to their experiences in CYO, experience they'll always warmly remember. Without them there would have been a disturbing void in the fabric of the town, and many other problems would have arisen if not for their existence.
