Congratulations to Josh Norton on being the recipient of Braintree Youth Soccer's First Annual David Ringius Scholarship. Josh 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 first in-town mentor-trained referees, received USSF referee certification, and still continues serving the program today as one of our older referees. Josh continued his soccer career at Blue Hills Regional Technical School, and graduated this year, after being a 4 year starter for the Varsity soccer team, and the Team Captain. We are so proud of Josh, and look forward to seeing the big things he 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, this 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. 

Braintree Youth Soccer was extremely excited to take part, and give back, to the 2023 Nelson Chin Memorial Golf Tournament!  Whether it was our current President, former President, current Vice President, current Treasurer, and countless former and current volunteers out there golfing, our being the sponsor of a hole, or making our way through the rain onto the course, as we have so many Saturdays on the soccer fields ourselves, it was a great day!  To be able to honor and remember our dear friend Nelson Chin out there is something so small compared to his impact on BYS as a volunteer, coach, and President, or his continued commitment as Director of Parks and Rec to our fields and kids, but Nelson did so much more for all the kids and the Braintree community as a whole that we could never thank he or his family (for sharing him with us all those years) enough.
