The BYS Fall Program is a recreational league for children living or going to school in Braintree. Players must be in Grades K through 8 to play. The goal of the league is to promote Soccer and to allow everyone to enjoy the game.

The league is broken down into male and female divisions by grade. This allows the players to be grouped with others of similar skill level and size, insuring fairness of play. The divisions are B-K (Boys Kindergarten, etc.), G-K, B-1, G-1, B-2, G-2, B-3, G-3, B-4, G-4, B-5/6, G-5/6, B-7/8 and G-7/8.

The format for the Kindergarten and 1st Grade Divisions is Micro Soccer. This is played on a small field with only 4 players per side, allowing all players an opportunity to touch the ball as much as possible. Games are fast moving and free flowing.

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grade Divisions play on medium sized fields with small goals. Grade 2 is a 6 player format. Grades 3 and 4 are 7 player format. At this level traditional soccer rules are applied, positional play becomes important and boundaries are enforced.

The 5/6 and 7/8 grade Divisions play on full sized regulation fields with 11 players per side. Some of these games even occur at night. This is the big leagues, with a draft, standings and play-offs.

Registration for the Fall Season occurs in May. Play begins September 9th for all grades. The season ends at the beginning of November for Divisions K-4, and mid to late November for Divisions with play-offs. All games are played on Saturday at either East Middle School or South Middle School (with the exception of evening games at Braintree High School).
