Spring 2021 Update – Registration Is Now Open

We are in the midst of preparations for the spring 2021 outdoor season and wanted to provide everyone with an update. 

In this most recent fall season, we successfully ran two league teams, one boys team and one girls team, in addition to an Academy program for our younger players.

Given the ongoing situation with COVID-19, we will not be conducting our traditional spring team tryouts.  All new and returning players interested in playing for Melrose United should register for the spring season at https://melroseunited.com/?page_id=983.

Please complete the registration process by Monday, 2/1.

This spring there will be a $100 deposit as part of the registration process.  The balance of the spring registration fee will be due prior to our first game.  The final cost for the spring season is still TBD, but is not expected to exceed last fall’s cost of $390/player.  Your deposit will be applied to the final cost of the spring season. Players that need to purchase uniforms will be able to do so for $95 once team placements are determined.

We are planning to field up to five boys teams and five girls teams (birth years 2002 through 2013) this spring. Additionally, we will be offering a practice only option, as well as our academy program (for players with birth years 2014 and younger). The final decision on the number of teams and their age groups will be determined based on the response we receive from the registration process.  Player placement for each team will be determined based on each player’s birth year and ability.  

Please visit our club’s website for more information about our Club Philosophy and Coach Biographies at HERE.

The Mass Youth Soccer and Club Champions League New England (CCLNE) guidelines and spring season details are still evolving, including season length, potential modifications to the rules of play, travel guidelines, league cost, etc.  Melrose United will follow the Return to Soccer Activities Guidelines as determined by Mass Youth Soccer, as well as any additional requirements mandated by CCLNE.  The guidelines can be updated at any time and we will be monitoring the situation closely.
