Welcome to Fall Soccer 2026! Important Information!

Welcome to Fall Soccer 2026 at BYAA!

Greetings and Welcome !

As we embark on a new season of soccer at BYAA, we would like to welcome our new families and welcome back our familiar faces. The Fall has brought us many updates! You will notice we have now shifted completely to at new app called TeamSnapOne (please download the new app now), we have moved to Mater Dei Park, and we have a brand new website! With these changes, we know there will be a learning curve, but we have been working over the summer to try to get all of the information on our website to make everything easier for you! TeamSnapOne is our ONLY form of communication, please download the app and set up your notifications!

Our Fall Season opens September 1, 2026 for practices and concludes on October 31, 2026!

The full game schedule is posted and coaches will be updating practices in your TeamSnapOne app now! Our field permits are very specific; no one should be using the fields without the consent of BYAA and Middletown Township. Each team will play 8 games. In the event of rain or weather issues, you will be notified via TeamSnapOne and make-ups will be mid-week. Please use the TeamSnapOne app attendance feature to keep the coaches informed on when your child will not be attending.

All teams have been drafted and registration is closed. Our coaches worked very hard to do an honest and fair draft and plan the season ahead. We cannot accommodate team changes, however, if siblings were noted and are in the same division, they were placed together. 

Uniforms and Equipment:

A team jersey and pair of socks will be distributed by your coaches prior to the first game. All players MUST have shin guards and non-metal cleats. We also recommend a soccer ball and water bottle with the player's name on it for practices and games (Little Strikers-size 3, Instructionals-size 3, Intermediates- size 4,Juniors-size 4, Seniors-size 5).

As we approach the season, just a few reminders:

• Parking is available at the St. Mary's Church lot. You will need to walk to the fields. Several spots are located near the restrooms which are reserved for handicapped/senior citizen/staff parking. Do NOT park on ANY GRASS and do NOT block entrances.
• We are responsible for keeping our fields a safe and clean place for our players! Please carry out your trash and clean up after yourself.
• Soccer can be played in the rain but not thunder/lightning. We will do our best to make the calls for Saturday by 7 am. Please do not reach out to the coaches or Board for information. We know to watch the weather and we are in constant communication on a decision. As soon as a decision is made, we will blast out a league message. Coaches will make the decision on practices. 
• Instructional/Intermediate/Juniors/Seniors will have a practice during the week. Little Strikers will have Saturday mornings only (a half hour of practice followed by a half hour of a split team scrimmage). 
• Please review field layout and additional parking information on our website. 
• We are a recreational soccer league. Standings are only kept at the Junior and Senior level. We prioritize safety and fun! Let us all work together for a safe and enjoyable season. Let the players play, let the coaches coach, let the referees call the games; parents and other spectators, cheer us on, be supportive, build up the players! Have a great season everyone! 
• Our coaches are required by the town to be registered and hold several certifications. They have all been working diligently to be sure these were completed prior to the start of the season so that we could open on time. With that being said, ONLY registered coaches and referees are permitted on player sideline and field. Parents/spectators are not permitted on the field during practices or games. We love having supportive fans on the sidelines; please let the players play, coaches coach, and referees officiate!

We will see you on the fields soon, in the meantime, keep an eye out for your TeamSnapOne notification. 

Yours in sportsmanship,

BYAA Soccer
