Updated Sept 11, 2020
We are thrilled to announce that registration for Fall 2020 Soccer for grades 1-8 is NOW OPEN.
As always, the safety and well- being of our players, coaches, and volunteers is the number one priority to ASA. ASA soccer activities will be COVID-modified following Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association Return to Soccer Guidelines. The number of spectators will be limited, and each team/age group will have assigned COVID-19 coordinators to assist teams in safe soccer activities.
All players must have a signed release of liability waiver before they are allowed to enter the field. The signed waiver must be returned to their field coach or an ASA board member.
Also, please be sure to review the list of rule modifications.

Fall soccer will consist of one weeknight practice with games at Amesbury Sports Park on Saturdays. Details of the games will be age-group specific based on number of players signed up.
Games will be mostly in-town (only ASA players). ASA is continuing to communicate with neighboring towns (Newburyport, Georgetown, Merrimac) about the potential for inter-town scrimmages later in the fall.
Target age groups: grades 1-8
Unfortunately due to COVID 19 regulations and restrictions, ASA will not be having a Fall Tots and Kindergarten 2020 season. Please stay tuned for possible events and updated information on additional activities.
Target age groups: ages 3 through grade K
All players in surrounding towns are welcome to play. Bring a friend!
