Brattleboro Youth Soccer Association

What ages and program levels does Brattleboro Youth Soccer Association offer?The club serves children from about age three through high school. Younger players join Tiny Tykes and eight-week development soccer, while elementary players can attend vacation-week spring clinics. Storm travel teams span roughly U7 or U8 through high school in spring and about U7 through U14 in fall, with winter indoor blocks for ages seven through fourteen when sessions run.

Where does the club train or play?Local training and games tie to Brattleboro-area sites such as West River Park for summer camp and Winston Prouty Center fields and gym for futsal. Storm travel plays Roots Soccer League matches across Massachusetts Pioneer Valley towns, generally south from Brattleboro toward communities like Longmeadow and Agawam. Optional winter Field House training meets in Swanzey, New Hampshire, when coaches organize a group.

When are tryouts or registration?Spring tryouts usually fall between February and early March; fall tryouts are targeted for mid-June before the school year ends. The club schedules at least one tryout per season and may add sessions or use early practices as evaluations when announced the same way. Travel registration opens through the Stack Sports player registration flow after tryouts and team offers; selected players also complete Vermont Soccer Association registration separately.

What do tryouts, clinics, or travel registration cost?Tryouts are free. Spring break clinics are about twenty-five dollars per day for the elementary-age clinic track. Tiny Tykes and the eight-week development block are about fifty dollars. Storm travel player registration runs about one hundred thirty to one hundred eighty dollars by season and age, and a new uniform kit is about ninety to one hundred dollars. Summer camp ranges about ninety to two hundred ninety-five dollars, and winter futsal blocks are about twenty dollars.

What does a season of Storm travel cost beyond the registration fee?Families should budget the player registration band above plus a uniform kit when one is needed. Optional tournaments bill separately through each event. Need-based scholarships can reduce the Storm travel registration fee after a player is placed on a team if an application is approved in time.

What is the club’s mission or coaching approach?The mission is to deliver a strong soccer experience that stays fun and supportive while balancing participation, competition, and enjoyment. Team goals highlight respect, positive attitudes, sportsmanship, technical and fitness growth, and smarter teamwork on the field. Most teams rely on volunteer parent coaches supported by board-led policies and training expectations.
