Players may play one age division higher or lower than normal, but only with the approval of the Director of the Age Division being entered, and the coach of the team to which the player will be assigned. Players playing outside their normal Age Division must have a skill level appropriate for the Age Division being entered.

Due to the increasing amount of time the assignment process is consuming, there will be no longer be special requests for team placement. Parents volunteering to be a head coach or assistant coach may request to coach together. Players whose parent(s) are Head Coach, Assistant Coach will be assigned to their parent's team. Siblings in the same league will be assigned to the same team unless otherwise specified in writing at the time of registration. Remaining players will then be assigned to teams providing for a balance of skill level, gender and town representation.

If you believe you have an exception to this policy, submit the request in writing to the Registrar at BHYSLadmin@gmail.com, or to: BYHSL, PO Box 658, Brookline, NH, 03033. No requests will be accepted via phone. The Registrar will review the request and present it to the Board of Directors for consideration. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Thank you to our volunteers

Our volunteers provide a valuable community service by enriching the lives of the youth soccer players in Brookline and Hollis. Many of our coaches have spent their weekends attending coaching and referee clinics so they can be better coaches for all of our children. Don't forget to say "Thank You" to your child's coach.
