BAYS makes the final decision on Division placement for each team. Tryouts for Needham Soccer Club are held in the late Fall to assist with placements on travel teams for the Spring. Players are assessed by an outside group of professional coaches. Selections for teams are made using tryout results along with player evaluations from a player's Fall coach. Tryouts are expected to be a mix of measurable skills and small-sided games, but the actual format is determined by the Division Director.
Tryouts are open to all players.
Please note that players are not required to attend tryouts in order to be placed on a Spring team. They do, however, allow players to be more accurately placed on appropriate teams. Season Information Fall and Spring Seasons . Each season is 10 weeks long, one game per week. Travel team games are scheduled within the BAYS league.
