Registration for the Fall 2007 In-House & Travel Soccer Clubs is now OPEN.
Registration closes June 30th-- be sure to get in on the fun!

The Bedford Youth Soccer Club began in 1972 as an organization committed to instructing children of all abilities in the sport of soccer in and around the Town of Bedford. The primary goal of The Club is to instill a love and knowledge of soccer. We strive to create a fun environment where our children have the opportunity to develop skills, learn sportsmanship and engage in healthful competition. It is an organization led and managed by parent volunteers. Coaching is carried out by both parent volunteers and professional coaches.

The Club is organized into three Programs: In-House, Academy and Travel:

The In-House Program is for children of all skill levels beginning at age 4 (Pre-K) and continuing through middle school age. Teams are set up based on school grade. In-house soccer teams are Coed or Girls-only depending on turnout. Registration for in-house season happens January through April and includes Fall and Spring.

The BYSC Academy was established during the spring 2005 season. The chief purpose of the academy is to offer a unique training opportunity and competitive format for those young boys and girls interested in the Travel Soccer Program.

The Travel Program is organized into teams and provides a more competitive level of soccer for the committed, skilled player. Tryouts for these teams are held each year in May for the following soccer season. Children try out for teams and are put onto teams of appropriate age and skill level should the child be selected. Travel teams are organized by age and begin at Under 8 and continue through Under 19. Travel season also includes Fall and Spring.

The Club, through its active volunteer participation at all levels, promotes community involvement. The success of the program lies with its volunteers. If you are interested in participating please contact us. Uniforms for BYSC In-house and Travel programs can be purchased at Mt. Kisco Sports.

The Fall Session will commence on Saturday, September 8th. The Session will run for 10 weeks with a break for the Columbus Day weekend and ending on November 17th.

The Registration Fee for the Fall Session is $120.00 per child-- reduced rates are available for families with 3 or more children participating in the Club. Scholarships are available for those families that seek assistance. Fall Registration will CLOSE on June 30th, 2007-- there is no guarantee that late registrations will be accepted.
