Games / Superliga: Superliga has not yet announced if they will have an official season this Fall. SCYSC has a plan in the event of no travel league, which includes scrimmages between players within their stable groups (following the State’s youth sport guidelines detailed in our Plan). Scrimmages would be played on Saturdays beginning September 12th and generally run through November 7th. More details to come soon.

important info related to Covid-19

Our main goal is to provide a safe and fun season. All players, coaches, and spectators must adhere to SCYSC's COVID-19 Control Plan.
Click here to review. Highlights of the Plan include:

Stable groups up to 50 when outdoors in training (including all players, coaches, and spectators when they are within 14 feet). When possible, these stable groups are split into smaller groups (i.e., your team).

Self screening is required by parents/guardians before entering the field. If your child has a temperature above 100.4 degrees or has any symptoms listed on the last page of the Plan, your player MUST NOT come to training.

Face-masks are required for all players and coaches entering/leaving the field. Coaches will wear masks when unable to maintain 6 feet from players. Players do not have to wear masks when in active play.

No pinnies this season. All players should get in a habit of bringing two jerseys to each training (a light and a dark).

Spectators (all parents not listed as a coach/manager) must remain more than 14 feet away from the training area at all times. Spectators are strongly encouraged to social distance from each other or remain in your vehicle during training. Do not group together near the entrance and exits of fields.

Please also note that while youth sport activities allow for stable groups up to 50 while in training, social gatherings off the field remain limited to 15 by state and local orders (i.e., team dinners/team parties). Please be considerate of all members of SCYSC and adhere to these guidelines.

Competitive Technical Training Sessions

We are offering a night of Technical Training for each competitive player in addition to team training nights.
The sessions are broken up by our stable groups. Players may not attend a session outside of their stable group and must bring their own ball (properly inflated) and water.

competitive program philosophy

There is a concerted effort underway to move from a team-centric approach to individual player development. This means that team rosters may be more dynamic with players moving from team to team as their skills develop with the goal of grouping players together with similar skills. The ultimate goal is to develop large groups of skilled players at each age group to create more competitive teams. The larger numbers become ever more important as the rosters grow from 12-14 players for U12 to 18 players for U14 and above. To facilitate this development, efforts will be made for same age group teams to train/practice together as one group. This will allow for more consistent training by coaches who can now observe all players and re-evaluate as needed.

general information about tryouts

Player tryouts are offered once a year. All current and new players interested in joining a team must attend tryouts. Our objective is to form boys/girls teams per age group starting with U8. Typically, there will be an ‘A’ team and a ‘B’ team – SCYSC evaluators select players based on perceived ability.
If a player wishes to join a team mid-season or mid-year, contact Shirley at the office (401)782-8200, and she will put you in touch with the Competitive Coordinator.

Players wishing to participate on a team must pre-register and attend tryouts on the published dates. If the number of players registered for the tryout is equal or less than the roster limit, SCYSC may decide not to hold a tryout. This decision will be made after the registration closing date.

Players unable to attend a tryout must submit a waiver request in writing to Shirley, our registrar, no later than 7 days prior to the start of tryouts. Waiver requests must include reason for not attending the tryout. Email Shirley here.

Player selection is based on the following:

Performance at tryout(s).
Player evaluations conducted by SCYSC Head Coaches.
Previous game and training performances if such data exists.
Any other criteria SCYSC decides to implement for any given assessment.
