reguirements,
the player
may suffer a
loss of
playing
time, a
suspension
and or
expulsion
from the
team.
Players must
attend all
Travel
tryouts in
order to be

Travel
Program
Information
The Travel Team
program is
available for
players looking
for a higher
level of
commitment and
competition from
third grade
through high
school. The
WYSA Travel Team
Program has some
distinct
differences from
our intramural
City League
program.
Teams in this
program are
comprised of
players of
equivalent skill
and compete
against similar
teams from other
towns in the
ECYSA League.
The schedule
consists of 8
games per season
starting in
early September
for fall and
early April for
spring. Teams
play four of
their ECYSA
games in Woburn
and four at the
opposing teams’
fields. Games
are scheduled on
Saturdays,
although games
can be held any
day of the week
if a make-up is
needed.
The WYS fields
travel teams for
grade 3 through
grade 8 for both
the fall and
spring seasons
and for grade 9
through grade 12
for the spring
season. Teams
are based on
grade as a
primary
requirement,
with age as a
secondary
requirement.
Grade 4 teams
are a
combination of
3rd and 4th
graders, grade 6
teams are a
combination of
5th and 6th
graders, grade 8
teams are a
combination of
7th and 8th
graders, grade
11 teams are a
combination of
9th and 11th
graders, and
grade PG teams
are a
combination of
12th and 1st
year post
graduates.
The number of
travel teams in
each grade group
will vary year
to year
depending on the
number of
players and
overall skill
levels who
register by our
deadlines.
Typically we
offer a minimum
of two travel
teams in each
level. WYS
reserves the
right to limit
travel teams per
age/grade group
and gender based
on age/grade
group
enrollment.
Travel Team
players are
required to
follow the below
requirements
based on the
Travel
Commitment
Agreement:
-
Participate
in both the
Fall and
Spring
seasons.
-
Attend the
two weekly
practices
and
regularly
scheduled
games.
-
Attend all
makeup
games.
-
Participate
in optional
winter
activities
that do not
conflict
with other
regularly
scheduled
games and
events.
While standings
are kept for
both seasons,
the fall season
is for player
and team
development, and
standings are
only for
purposes of
spring
placement. The
spring season is
the competitive
season and all
spring season
section winners
in advance to
the ECYSA
Divisional
Playoffs.
For the spring
season only,
teams placed in
Division 1
(MTOC-1) and 2
(MTOC-2) qualify
for the ECYSA
playoffs for the
right to
represent ECYSA
and WYS at the
Massachusetts
Tournament of
Champions (MTOC)
against teams
from the other
nine town-based
leagues in
Massachusetts.
Grade 8 teams
playing the
spring season in
Division 3 or 4
(CC-1 or CC-2)
can also qualify
for the ECYSA
playoffs, where
they compete
against other
ECYSA towns in a
knock-out style
tournament.
Teams usually
participate in a
Columbus Day
Tournament
during the fall
season and a
Memorial Day
Tournament
during the
spring season.
Players and
families should
make every
effort to
participate in
these
tournaments.
Players are
placed on a
travel team
based on their
skill level. A
player’s skill
level is
determined by
his or her
performance at
the tryouts
along with an
assessment from
his or her
current
coach. No player
currently on a
travel team is
guaranteed a
spot on the same
team for the
following
season. Previous
placement on a
Travel team does
not guarantee
placement in
subsequent
years.
If a player is
ill or injured
and cannot
attend tryouts,
an email must be
sent to the
Registration
Director prior
to the scheduled
tryout. Players
not attending
tryouts due to
documented
injury or
illness will be
excused from
attending the
assesments/tryouts
and will receive
appropriate
consideration
for a travel
team.
Team formations
will be
finalized and
communicated
once the spring
season has ended
and all tryouts
are complete.
The total cost
to play on a
Grade 4 - 8
Travel team for
both the fall
and spring
season is
$260.00. An $85
payment is made
when registering
prior to the
tryouts. The
remaining $175
balance is due
to be paid by
August 1st.
TRAVEL
COMMITMENT
UNDERSTANDING
AGREEMENT
Being selected
to play in the
WYSA Travel
Program should
be considered an
honor, prevents,
another player
from being
selected for the
team and comes
with an implied
level of
commitment. Both
Player and
Parent/Guardian
should be aware
that by
accepting
placement on the
Travel Team, the
commitment will
include
attendance at
practices and
games as
determined by
each team’s
coach and must
be able to play
in the playoffs
and be available
to go to the end
of season
tournaments.
This commitment
also includes an
agreement by
each player to
conduct
themselves in a
proper manner in
regards to
respect and
sportsmanship to
all coaches,
players,
referees,
parents, and
spectators at
all times while
representing
WYSA.
WYSA encourages
its Players to
participate in
other outside
activities, but
in fairness to
all programs,
the commitment
requirements for
the Travel
Program should
be considered
before choosing
to participate
in either this
program, as well
as in fairness
to the other
program(s), as
only compelling
reasons will be
considered by
the Coach for
not meeting the
requirements.
Compelling
excuses for not
meeting the
requirement are
defined as
situations, by
their nature are
beyond the
players control,
i.e. family
obligations,
school
activities,
religious
functions,
illness, etc.
The Coach should
be informed of
these conflicts
as early as
possible. If
there is a
failure to meet
the minimum
requirements,
the player may
suffer a loss of
playing time, a
suspension and
or expulsion
from the team.
