U11-U14 Team Formation Details:

· Like other area clubs there is NO guarantee of placement on a specific roster.
· Any Players wanting to be on a competitive team must undergo a Player Evaluation. Our Player Evaluations will follow MAYSA tryout rules, however there will not be a charge for the evaluations for the 2025-2026 season. If you’d like more information about MAYSA tryout rules, please go to http://www.maysa.org/tryout_info.php
· Competitive teams will be formed if there are enough players at an appropriate skill level to form a team. This also applies to Rec teams.
· Also remember, just because there is a player evaluation, it does not mean there will be a competitive team at a specific age group. (SAYSA has no way of knowing this until the player evaluations have commenced and we know our numbers and skill levels of all players at any particular age level)
· If a player does not make a competitive team, he/she will be offered a roster spot on a recreational team if there is roster space.
· SAYSA’s first priority is placing players on a team appropriate for their skill level and their age level. If numbers warrant, some age groups may be combined or reassigned. This also applies to Rec teams.
· Players on competitive teams should expect a greater commitment in terms of attendance, practice, tournaments, etc.
· Playing on a particular competitive team this year does NOT guarantee placement on the same team the following year. When a player registers to play soccer or participates in tryouts with SAYSA they are registering to play IN the club NOT ON a specific team. This also applies to Rec teams.
· If your child cannot participate in the player evaluations on the dates their age group session is, they will need to contact the Age Commissioner to possibly work out a different evaluation date. Possible options would be evaluated with another age group or if this is not acceptable, and they have been on a SAYSA team in the previous year, we will consider the coaches recommendations and place your child as best as we can with limited information. So PLEASE make every effort to ensure that your child can attend at least one of our evaluation dates.

Late Registration is Open Now through Saturday, June 6th

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 20:43:45 GMT

Don’t delay register by May 30th to avoid late fees.

Referees Needed! Financial Incentives and Training Available

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 20:45:00 GMT

SAYSA is always in need of more certified referees to cover our home games. If you’d like to contribute to youth soccer in Stoughton in a vital way (while getting some exercise), please see information below about how to get certified and the special bonuses SAYSA and others will be offering this season.

SAYSA Financial Bonuses

For the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 seasons, SAYSA will be offering the following increased rates for U9/U10 game officials (to help address a shortage at this age level):

In addition, SAYSA will offer a $70 bonus to SAYSA referees who officiate 7 or more SAYSA home games at any age level within the timeframe of a single fall or spring half-season (following the submission of verification ). Questions about receiving the bonus can be submitted to the SAYSA volunteer coordinator .

Referee Courses, MAYSA Bonuses, WYSA Reimbursement

Below is information sent by the Madison Area Youth Soccer Association:

The New Grassroots Referee Courses are now open! This is a great opportunity for any of you to become soccer referees, enjoy the game in a different way AND make money ( see per game fees ). There’s also a bonus & incentive program plus the opportunity to officiate at many local tournaments! And WYSA reimburses for the course ($70)!

The online portion of the new referee course is a great way for young people to fill the summer hours. And, for those 18 and older we recommend a little more time allocated because a background check is required before you can start. Minimum age per U.S. Soccer policy is 13 years old at the time of registering for the course (no exceptions, sorry). Once the online portion is completed there is an in person component (schedule below).

We would love to see you out there!…below are the instructions & guidance for signing up, provided by Wisconsin Program for Referee Development (WisRef).

2025 New Referee Course Information

New Referee courses are being offered by the Wisconsin Soccer Referee Development Program (WisRef) for a 2025 USSF Referee license expiring 12/31/2025. The successful referee candidate will have the opportunity to officiate games for the fall of 2024 and all of the 2025 calendar year. This course is for new, first time referees that have not been previously registered as a referee OR a previously registered referee who has had a lapse in registration (2022 or prior lapse). The cost is $70 for the course. Minimum age per U.S. Soccer policy is 13 years old at the time of registering for the course, there are no exceptions.

The course is completed in two parts: online coursework followed by and in-person training. Online portion must be completed prior to scheduling and in-person training.
