Hello DYS Families,

Our annual picnic is coming up on Sunday, June 11th at Nobles Field in Dedham and this is when we host our PICTURE DAY for the Town Program.  (Remember all the FUN pictures from when we were ball players at these ages)

There is a link below that reviews the packages available to purchase at the picnic.  You will need to fill out the form and provide a method of payment (Check, Credit Card, or Cash).  

This is a great way to capture the memories of the 2022/2023 season.  Some of the most purchased items include:

·Player Magnets

·Trading Cards

·Posters

DYS will be setting up times for each team to get their pictures taken at the picnic and coordinating with coaches.  Pre- K Kickers can also get pictures taken after their sessions are completed.

Please make sure that ALL players participate in the TEAM photo (even if you are not making a purchase)

Dedham Soccer on 3...!

Medway Youth Soccer is excited to announce its annual 3v3 Jamboree on June 17, 2023 at the Medway Middle School from 10 AM-4 PM. This is a single venue, single day tournament with on-site food/drink (including food trucks), and entertainment for all participants and their families. Many of you who have been involved with soccer in central and eastern Massachusetts for many years may remember the Medway Cup. Although we have moved on from that format, we are looking to build our 3 v 3 Jamboree into something that resembles what the Medway Cup used to be. We are asking for your help by publicizing, posting on your various social media platforms, and spreading the word amongst coaches about our event. We realize that the end of the spring season is very busy for all, but this is a great way for town teams to cap off their season before heading into summer. This is geared more towards town/rec teams but if there is enough interest from club teams, we can easily form a division for that as well. 

Details are included in the attached flyer and the link to the registration page is below. Thank you in advance for your support!

Clinician Sessions-  Grades 2 thru 5-  We have gotten a lot of positive feedback about our clinicians so far about the new format and sessions, Coach Adam Lambert and team are doing a fantastic job! Please share your feedback. 

 Dedham Youth Soccer Tryouts- Just finished up with great coordination and success.  Thank you to all the players that attended!

• Tryouts were held for FALL Incoming grade 3 thru 8 players for TRAVEL soccer
• The tryouts were 100% facilitated by Professional Coaches from Challenger Sports
• The purpose of tryouts are to get an independent evaluation of the players at different levels of play 7v7, 9v9, 11v11.  The Tryouts evaluate the player’s soccer skills and team play.  The format will be a blend of skills (passing, dribbling, striking) and mini-games. These evaluations will be combined with the Coach’s evaluation of the players to determine the best, most suitable competition level for each child.
• DYS wants the player to develop in the most suitable environment to create a positive experience while learning to enjoy the game of soccer
• Players will be evaluated ongoing throughout the season by their coaching staff as well as at the Clinic sessions (where applicable).  Soccer skills, teamwork, enthusiasm, and commitment are all part of the evaluation process. Additional evaluations may be used in determining appropriate level of play if needed
• The number of teams and the size of teams are based on number of registered players and league rules. Teams may be combined at grade level when conditions require.
• If a player did not attend the tryout and played in the spring season we will use the coaches evaluation for determining next seasons placement. If you are new to the DYS program or did not play in the spring and did NOT attend the tryout, please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns
