About
Cumberland Youth Soccer Association (CYSA) is a Cumberland, Rhode Island, youth soccer organization that anchors northern Rhode Island families with recreation, travel, introductory Rugrats sessions, adaptive TOPSoccer, and a referee pathway. Fall recreation has been the club’s foundation since 1990, and programming now spans toddlers through high school ages alongside more competitive options.
What the club offers
Fall Recreation groups players by U.S. Soccer birth-year bands from Rugrats coed through U19 coed, with small-sided formats scaling from 4v4 up to 11v11 for older groups. Travel soccer competes in Super Liga against neighboring Rhode Island towns, with both full-year and half-year participation paths for intermediate players seeking more games and training rhythm. The full-year travel track starts at U7, runs August through spring Super Liga, and adds two indoor winter training blocks plus regular skills sessions led by professional trainers; rosters may use tryouts when coaches and the travel vice president decide they are needed. CLP United is the club’s premier pathway for athletes who want NECSL-level club soccer, operated as its own program with separate registration through CLP United. Rugrats introduces two- to five-year-olds (depending on season) to the ball in parent-participation style blocks offered in fall, winter, and spring. TOPSoccer serves players ages five through eighteen with disabilities, pairing each athlete with a trained volunteer buddy in ability-based groups at no cost to families.
Where teams meet and how seasons run
Fall Recreation league play is scheduled on Saturdays at Diamond Hill Park, 4125 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland, with one outdoor practice per week; practice day, time, and field assignments typically arrive in early August through coaches via email and the TeamSnap One app. Winter Rugrats trains indoors at Wide World of Indoor Sports in North Smithfield, with parents or guardians required on site. Spring Rugrats uses Friday and Saturday time slots on a set spring calendar announced each year. Full-year travel teams aim for mid- to late-June tryouts when needed, late-June rostering, late-August practices, and September league starts for groups below high-school age; winter practices move indoors and spring returns outdoors with the same weekly practice expectation across fall, winter, and spring segments. Travel uniforms include home and away tops, shorts, socks, and a sweatshirt or comparable item; tournament entry fees are handled team by team beyond the program bundle.
Registration, fees, and financial assistance
Fall Recreation registration runs through GotSport at the player and coach portals the club maintains each season. The standard player fee is $125; registering after May 31 may be allowed only when space remains and adds a $25 late fee for a $150 total. Families who register three or more siblings before the deadline receive $30 off the combined total automatically at checkout. Each player receives one jersey and socks; families supply shorts, cleats, shin guards, and a practice ball. Need-based assistance requires submitting the CYSA financial assistance application and waiting up to about three business days for board review before paying; approved families receive a discount code to enter during GotSport checkout, and the club cannot retroactively apply aid after a registration is paid in full. The board and the relevant program vice president review requests tied to Fall Recreation, travel, or CLP United. TOPSoccer player and buddy registration also uses GotSport at no fee to participants. Travel program fees are arranged directly with the travel leadership rather than bundled as one public tuition figure for every team.
How to reach program leaders
Fall Recreation questions go to the vice president of fall recreation at cysarec@gmail.com. Travel questions, including full-year structure, tryout timing, and roster decisions, go to the vice president of travel at cysatravel@gmail.com. A general switchboard email or phone listing is not available yet, so program emails are the reliable way to reach the right volunteer leader.

What does a season or year of club soccer cost?Fall Recreation families should plan on the $125 standard fee plus personal equipment beyond the included jersey and socks, or $150 if registering late when spots remain. Travel families should budget for the program fee quoted by travel leadership, the included uniform bundle, and any team-chosen tournaments that bill separately. TOPSoccer has no participant fee.
