CORI form

Mass Youth Soccer requires that all coaches complete a CORI form to allow the state to process background checks for volunteers working with children.

The CORI form can be found online, using the forms link on the Mass Youth Soccer website.

Click on the CORI form under "Membership/Registration Forms". Please fill in and submit the CORI form promptly.

Bulletin Board

Welcome to the MYS website - we hope that you'll find materials here that will help make your job as coach more rewarding, and maybe a little easier as well.

In this website you will find materials that will help you put your team schedule on the web, post game summaries and scores, and get information to parents and players.

Coaches - please log in with your username and password and set up your game schedule with the Manage Games link. Contact your league coordinator for username and password if you don't have them already.

We also have worked to provide MYS coaches with a framework of coaching ideas through our developmental targets and resources. In addition, we plan to provide skill development materials to players through the website to help them better live the credo that "every waking moment is an opportunity to become a better soccer player." Ole!

Q & A

Q: I am a coach in Melrose, and I have heard that if I take one of the Mass Youth Soccer licensing courses that MYS will pay. Is that true?

A: Absolutely - save your canceled check and submit a copy of your certificate to MYS.

Q: We've been having stormy weather lately with lightning and thunder. What should I do as a coach when this happens?

A: Get your team off the field and into safe shelter when lightning is less than 6 miles away (30 seconds from lightning to thunderclap) and don't take the field again for 30 minutes after the lightning is gone. See Lightning Tips for more details from Mass Youth Soccer.
