New Braunfels, Texas

About

New Braunfels Youth Soccer Association (NBYSA) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that serves New Braunfels families with youth soccer from introductory small-sided play through high school ages. The association organizes recreational divisions, local and Central Texas interleague options for older players, and points motivated athletes toward NB Ajax for academy- and select-style training when they want a sharper competitive edge.

What the club offers

Division IV covers roughly U4 through U10 and focuses on fun, learning, and balanced teams without cutting players for ability. Games stay small-sided by age so young athletes touch the ball often and build comfort with the sport. Division III serves roughly U11 through U19 at a recreational level: coaches may use evaluations to balance rosters, and teams can play within the association, through Central Austin Youth Soccer Association (CAYSA), or in an in-house interleague for U11 and U12 where every match stays in New Braunfels on Weston fields. NBYSA Rec+ adds no-cost weekly clinics for U7 through U10 players at the HEB soccer complex, with girls grouped on Mondays and boys on Wednesdays once the regular practice week begins. Families who outgrow pure recreational soccer can explore NB Ajax, which emphasizes technical skill, disciplined defending, and attacking soccer as the club’s competitive arm.

Fields, seasons, and everyday logistics

Home training and games for many recreational and D3 interleague teams center on Weston Soccer Fields at 254 Doeppenschmidt Road and the HEB Soccer Fields at 550 North Live Oak, both in New Braunfels. Spring soccer typically runs March through May with registration opening around January, while fall soccer usually runs September through November with registration opening around July—exact calendar dates shift each year. Board meetings happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at Weston Soccer Fields, and coaches, parents, and volunteers are welcome to attend.

Registration, fees, and required paperwork

Recreational league signup happens online through GotSport, with in-person registration offered for families who cannot complete the process digitally. New players must submit a state-issued birth certificate with payment before they are considered fully registered and assigned to a team; anyone who needs help with fees should reach out to the registrar. Current recreational registration fees on file are $90 for U4–U6, $100 for U7–U10, $140 for U11–U18 D3 interleague (recreational interleague with training and games at Weston), and $150 for U11–U18 D2 interleague (competitive interleague with two practices per week at Weston and home-and-away games that include travel). D2 rosters are built by coach invitation or tryout, and a spot is not guaranteed. Academy and select programming beyond these recreational tracks is coordinated through NB Ajax.

Mission and how the club approaches development

NBYSA’s mission is to foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth of New Braunfels youth through soccer at every age and level the association offers, with recreational soccer open to all who want to play. Recreational programming deliberately de-emphasizes wins and losses in favor of enjoyment, life skills, and a lasting love of the game. NB Ajax layers a technique-first philosophy on top of that foundation, aiming for expansive, skillful soccer and believing strong results follow when development comes first.

Frequently asked questions

What ages and program levels does New Braunfels Youth Soccer Association offer?Division IV serves about U4 through U10 in a fully recreational, small-sided format. Division III covers about U11 through U19 at a recreational level with optional CAYSA interleague or an in-house U11–U12 interleague played entirely in New Braunfels. Older players can also join D2 interleague teams that train twice weekly at Weston and play home-and-away schedules with travel. NB Ajax handles academy- and select-style programming for families who want a more competitive track beyond recreational soccer.

Where does New Braunfels Youth Soccer Association train and play?Primary venues are HEB Soccer Fields at 550 North Live Oak and Weston Soccer Fields at 254 Doeppenschmidt Road in New Braunfels. D3 interleague training and games stay at Weston, while D2 interleague teams still train at Weston but travel for away matches. Rec+ clinics for U7–U10 run at the HEB complex.

When does registration open and how do seasons run?Spring soccer generally runs March through May with registration opening around January, and fall soccer usually runs September through November with registration opening around July. Families enroll through GotSport or attend an in-person registration event if online signup is not possible. Because exact open and close dates change every season, checking with an age group commissioner or the registrar confirms the live window.

What does recreational registration cost?Fees are $90 for U4–U6, $100 for U7–U10, $140 for U11–U18 D3 interleague recreational teams, and $150 for U11–U18 D2 interleague competitive teams. D2 placement requires a coach invitation or tryout and is not guaranteed.

What paperwork is required to register a new player?Registration is complete only after the online or paper form, payment, and a state-issued birth certificate for players who are new to NBYSA are on file. Until those items are received, the player is not placed on a team. Families who cannot pay the registration fee should contact the registrar for assistance.

What is New Braunfels Youth Soccer Association’s mission and philosophy?The association exists to support the physical, mental, and emotional development of New Braunfels youth through soccer while keeping recreational soccer accessible to the whole community. Recreational programming stresses fun and life skills over wins and losses. NB Ajax adds a technique-driven competitive philosophy that treats winning as the outcome of proper development rather than the sole goal.
