Barrington Youth Soccer Association

What ages and program levels does Barrington Youth Soccer Association offer?Spring house league targets specific birth-year bands announced each season, with Mini Kickers for younger players (including four- and five-year-old sessions) and separate U4 and U5 spring skills blocks. Competitive travel includes fall-only and year-round team pathways registered through GotSport, with younger year-round options and spring high-school-age teams that sit opposite the school soccer season. Summer camps cover U5 through U13-style age splits for the BYSA camp plus broader camp weeks with Challenger Sports, and the April Foundation Skills Camp serves ages 6–14.

Where does Barrington Youth Soccer Association train or play?Spring Mini Kickers and related outdoor sessions use Chianese Field off Maple Avenue in Barrington. Summer Challenger camps and the BYSA summer camp use Chianese Memorial Field at 41 Centennial Avenue, Barrington, Rhode Island 02806. Fall travel tryouts take place at Chianese Field with the Prince’s Hill Avenue entrance.

When are tryouts or registration?Spring house league and Mini Kickers open in GotSport when registration is active, with outdoor Sunday sessions on a spring schedule families confirm at signup. Fall travel tryouts run in early June at Chianese Field; every interested player must complete GotSport registration to be roster-eligible, and tryout attendance is strongly encouraged. Year-round and fall-only travel tryout programs each have their own GotSport registration entry—choose the path that matches the player’s goals.

What do tryouts or registration cost?The BYSA summer camp charges $70 for the U5 morning block, $200 for half day, and $300 for full day for the U6–U13-style age range. House league, Mini Kickers, and travel tryout fees are handled separately in GotSport or by email—open the relevant program in GotSport or ask the registrar for the current fee sheet.

What does a season or year of club soccer cost?Exact dollar amounts called out for programming include the BYSA summer camp: $70 for the U5 morning block, $200 half day, and $300 full day for school-age campers in the U6–U13-style band. Travel families should also plan for uniform orders through the Challenger Teamwear store and any team-level costs shared after placement. For house league, Mini Kickers, or travel tuition when checkout in GotSport does not show a total yet, email the registrar.

What is the club’s mission, philosophy, or coaching approach?BYSA blends a recreational house league tradition with competitive travel under Barrington Soccer Club, emphasizing steady growth from Mini Kickers into travel. The club hired professional coaches for competitive fall and spring league training starting in 2004 and added winter training in 2005 so players keep developing between outdoor seasons, reflecting a focus on long-term skill building rather than a single-season snapshot.

How can families contact or register?Register players in GotSport for the program that matches house league, Mini Kickers, or travel tryouts.

Soccer and travel skills questions go to bysa.craig@gmail.com, and broader travel leadership questions can go to c.higginbotham@barringtonyouthsoccer.com. Scholarship applicants follow the BYSA travel scholarship policy and online application form.

How do families apply for travel financial aid?Need-based travel scholarships rely on a written purpose-and-policy document together with an online BYSA scholarship application. Complete the form and follow the policy guidance; email the registrar if you need help interpreting requirements or deadlines for a given season.
