Parents Overview

Club Organization

CCYS is a non-profit organization run mainly by parents and volunteers.  We rely heavily on parents to assume leadership roles, including coaches, assistant coaches, managers, age directors, board directors, and president.  A volunteer board of directors oversees general operations.  The board meets regularly with the president to discuss club business.  Parents may volunteer when registering players by clicking on the Volunteer button or at any time by contacting the club.  In addition to our volunteers, day-to-day operations of CCYS are managed by a registrar, business manager, field & equipment manager, and director of coaching.

Programs

CCYS has two basic programs; Travel (Grades 3-12) and InTown (Pre-K to Grade 4).  Programs are run separately and have different requirements.  CCYS also offers a competitive Club program in partnership with the Strikers from Acton-Boxboro.

CCYS strictly adheres to a Zero Tolerance policy regarding player, referee, coach and parent behavior. For the full details on our Zero Tolerance policy click here.

Practices

InTown teams typically practice once per week (except for K & Pre-K), while Travel teams generally practice twice per week.  Practices are set by coaches a few weeks prior to the season opening and may take place in either Concord or Carlisle.

Uniforms

Uniform Jerseys are the same for intown and travel and are required for grades 2-4 InTown and 3-8 Travel Programs.  Players in grades PreK - 1 will get a CCYS t-shirt from their coach at the first session of the season. Uniform jerseys should be ordered at least 3 weeks before the first game.  Travel players will also need black shorts and black socks.  Soccer clothing and other needed gear may be purchased locally at Brines in Concord or Soccer Stuff in Acton.

Registration

If you are new to our club, you will need to set up a family account with AdminSports, our registration provider.  During this setup, you will be asked to enter information about your players as well as health insurance, physician, and emergency contact. Please have this information available.   Once the account is setup you may register players and modify any family information. If you need assistance, please email CCYS Registrar.  Click here to go to the Registration page which contains details of our current season and a link to registration login.
