Congratulations To Lorelai Banville

-2nd Annual David Ringius Scholarship Recipient-

Congratulations to Lorelai Banville on being the recipient of Braintree Youth Soccer's David Ringius Scholarship this year! Lorelai came up through the Braintree Youth Soccer program, playing from K-8, participating in the Travel Soccer Program, waking up and helping out with field crew on Saturday mornings at the crack of down, participated as one of our in-town mentor-trained referees, received USSF referee certification, and still continues serving the program today as one of our referees. Lorelai continued her soccer career at Archbishop Williams High School, and graduated this year, after being on the soccer team there as well. We are so proud of Lorelai, and look forward to seeing the big things she will do!

For those who aren't aware, Braintree Youth Soccer gives out 2 scholarships to Braintree High School graduates each year; one is name in honor/memory of Nelson Chin to a graduating male and the other in honor/memory of Michael Doheny to a graduating female. Being cognizant of the fact that we have had many amazing athletes come through our program who go to other private and regional vocational schools, we wanted to reward them as well. So, last year, we started a new scholarship in memory of David Ringius, a long time BYS volunteer (1985-1999 for his 3 kids) and then again (2009-2021 for his 5 grandkids) to be awarded to an athlete from a high school graduate who didn't attend Braintree High School.

The athletes who receive these scholarships must meet the criteria of having played in our program, giving back to the program upon completion (snack bar, coaching, reffing, field crew, etc.), and playing on the High School soccer team during their time. The combination of positive soccer play, teamwork, and volunteerism, are the pillars on which our program was built, and we are happy to give back in some small way to the future of our former players. 

Fall Soccer Reminder: No Earrings

Parents - here is your annual reminder to avoid getting your player's ears pierced for the beginning of the school year.  No earrings or jewelry of any kind may be worn (exception: jewelry expressing a medical condition).  No, you may not tape over, or place band aids over, the earrings; they must be removed in order to play.

Also: Footwear

For safety reasons please wear only soccer shoes, or sneakers.
