Falmouth Youth Soccer Association

What the club offers

Programming centers on outdoor fall travel soccer aligned with Soccer Maine rules and calendars. Teams run from U9 through U14; age eligibility uses an August 1 cutoff, meaning a player must be under the stated team age on that date. The youngest band, U9, expects players who are at least seven by August 1 and entering third grade. Players whose birthdates sit just below classmates may request a grade-appropriate play-up on the registration form; the board reviews each request individually when numbers and ability allow. Under Soccer Maine requirements, every rostered player must reside in the town of Falmouth, though they may attend schools outside Falmouth Public Schools.

Season rhythm, commitment, and evaluations

Outdoor seasons typically run from August into November, with practices starting in mid- to late August. League play often begins around Labor Day weekend and continues into early November, including district play and Challenge Cup opportunities where teams qualify. Teams usually practice one or two evenings per week for about one to two hours, often around ninety minutes, at the coach’s discretion. Games are scheduled mainly on Sundays with occasional Saturdays; schedules can shift as the season progresses. FYSA expects players to prioritize team commitments, and unresolved conflicts with other sports may affect minutes or roster standing. Optional indoor winter or spring sessions depend on coach interest and player availability and usually carry an extra fee.

Evaluations are held for U13 and U14 players only; families receive more detail after the registration period closes. Current-season team information and rosters are released at a fixed midday time on June 15 (for example, noon on June 15, 2026).

Fees, uniforms, and financial aid

Fall registration uses a multi-player discount: the first child is $160 and each additional sibling is $130. Required Puma uniform kits run on a two-year cycle with a $40 kit charge in the cycle year families order. FYSA encourages any family needing fee help to email the registrar to discuss scholarships.

Home fields and the Fall Classic

Home training and matches use Falmouth-area sites including Falmouth Community Park on Winn Road, Falmouth Middle School on Woodville Road, and Falmouth High School on Woodville Road. Visiting opponents and neutral league assignments follow Soccer Maine field data; coaches share exact away locations. Field condition updates are announced on the club’s Facebook feed.

The Falmouth Fall Classic is scheduled for October 10–12, 2026, with tournament questions routed to the Fall Classic directors and registrar emails published for that event.
