BYS Information

The Bedford Youth Soccer Committee (BYSC) of Bedford, Massachusetts, is pleased that between 500 and 600 Bedford children participate in the Travel and Intramural soccer programs in both the fall and spring seasons. The Committee invites all Bedford children in grades K-8 to play intramural soccer, and children in grades 3-12 to play travel soccer. The BYSC is also very appreciative of the more than one hundred men and women who volunteer as coaches and assistants in the spring and in the fall.

The Soccer Committee may have openings in June. If you are interested in joining, contact the Recreation Department by phone (781-275-1392) or by .

New! Some of the BYS forms are now online so you can email your input to the Recreation Department or Travel Coordinator! Look for the "Online" text and follow the link. Note: If the form description says "(IE Only)" it means the form only works with Internet Explorer, version 4.x and later. Unfortunately, Netscape doesn't execute some forms properly. (That's right - I'm blaming Netscape!)
