A new Federal requirement has been imposed on all amateur sports in the US where "Adult" athletes are playing alongside minor athletes. On the front page of your club dashboard in Association connect is the following banner:
The BAYS Sportsmanship Award is presented each season to teams selected by the Sportsmanship Award Committee from a pool of submissions received from members of the BAYS community. Winning teams receive special Sportsmanship Award Winner T shirts and have their team picture posted on the BAYS website in recognition of this honor.
While BAYS expects all of its members to practice good sportsmanship, we believe examples of outstanding sportsmanship should be recognized and rewarded.
I have received a few questions about the MTOC schedule. MYSA publishes the schedule usually before the first weekend in June. It may be viewed on the MYSA website.There are two designations for teams in the draw.
BAYS and each BAYS organization is responsible for following the regulations and guidance of the following entities in structuring and playing in the Spring 2022 season should any requirements be in place:
Massachusetts Youth Soccer
Centers for Disease Control & Mass. Department of Health
As expected, Mass Youth Soccer released another version of updated COVID protocols, bringing them more into alignment with the CDC and Commonwealth of MA EEA guidance.
