Regular registration for players in grades PreK/K, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and 9/12 is now open. The deadline for regular registration is March 6th. Late registration will be available until March 18th. All registrations received after March 6th for players in grades 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and 9/12 will be subject to late fees.
Players and volunteers can register by clicking on the Register Now button on the right hand side of the home page at www.gdysc.org or by selecting Register On-Line from the Members menu.
COVID Guidelines
As we did in the fall GDYSC will follow Mass Youth Soccer Covid Protocols which are kept here https://www.mayouthsoccer.org/covid-hub/ if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to David Pitkin as our COVID Compliance officer for the club.
Grade Groupings
Players registering for play in the Groton Dunstable Youth Soccer Club will be placed on teams based on their grade in school for the 2021-2022 school year. The grade groupings that players will be placed in are as follows:
-
PreK/K
-
Grade 1/2
-
Grade 3/4
-
Grade 5/6
-
Grade 7/8
-
Grade 9/12
We understand that a few of our youth players might not fit neatly into the grade categories defined above. As we've done in the past, the GDYSC board will define the waiver conditions and process to allow players to be assigned up or down one level based on their unique circumstances. This waiver policy will be consistent with the GDYSC mission of providing the best youth soccer development experience for all of our players. If the reported grade for your child in their registration record for the 2021-2022 school year is incorrect, this may cause the system to indicate that they are ineligible for the grade grouping you are trying to register them for. If you have problems registering your child, please reach out to our registrar, Sten Peeters registrar@gdysc.org
Registration Fees
For the Spring 2021 season, the registration fees for Grades Pre-K/K and Grade 1/2 players will be $85. Registration fees for Grades 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and 9/12 players will be $115.
If you have a credit from the Spring 2020 season please register as normal, but do not confirm payment, contact Sten Peeters (registrar@gdysc.org) after you have completed the registration who can then apply your credit to the Spring 2021 fees.
Payment
Player registrations need to be paid in full at the time of registration using a credit card. Registered players that are not paid in full by March 18th will be removed from any roster they have been placed on until their outstanding balance is settled. We do offer a family maximum of $350 per season. For parents needing financial assistance, please contact the GDYSC Registrar, Sten Peeters (registrar@gdysc.org) to request a full or partial waiver of the player registration fees. For parents who wish to pay by check, please contact both the GDYSC treasurer, Charlie Lippman (cclippma@hotmail.com) and the GDYSC Registrar, Sten Peeters (registrar@gdysc.org) to arrange for payment. There are no fees to register as a volunteer.
Late Registration
Registrations received on or after March 18th for Grades 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and 9/12 will be assessed a $25 late fee.
Refund Policy
Any refund request received after April 1st will not be honored unless the player has a valid medical reason. Refund requests prior to those dates in their respective seasons will be subject to a $25 processing fee. This fee represents the sum of the non-refundable fees that we have to pay Mass Youth Soccer, the Nashoba Valley Youth Soccer League.
