The Snap shot
If you have never enrolled a child in a soccer program, here is your quick primer. Most soccer organizations are run by volunteers from the local community, in cooperaiton with, but not managed by, your pariticipating towns(s). Children can participate as a player on an in-town team(less competitive in general), in a travel team (more competitive in general), in our Winter program during the colder more months or as a referee.
Listed here are brief descriptions for all our programs. If after reviewing, you still have questions, check out our Contacts page. We have assigned age directors for all our divisions who can assist you in better understanding what CCYS is about. Detailed program descriptions are listed below.

Referee Development
We also have a referee development program where players who desire to officiate our games may obtain a referee certificate outside our club and then be assigned games. Our most experienced referees can also be chosen to assist in the on-field training of the newest referees.
