WYS Scholarships
Waltham Youth Soccer is proud to honor two deserving students with scholarships.During the Winter break from college, WYS had the privilege of delivering scholarships to two deserving students. Casey MacNeil and Patrick Brophy.
Casey MacNeil is a Freshman attending Merrimack College with a major in Sports Medicine. Patrick Brophy is a Freshman attending the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a major in Criminal Justice. Both recipients played on many teams in Waltham Youth Soccer ranging from U10 up through U16. Both were also very involved in other aspects of the league. (Refereeing, help with registrations, and travel team try-outs. Just to name a few.) Their dedication and contributions are in keeping with the finest standards of Waltham Youth Soccer and we congratulate them on their accomplishments.

HELP!!! WE NEED YOU!
As with most programs, we have a team of volunteers that do most of the work required
to run the Waltham Youth Soccer Program. These volunteers work very hard, but we always need more
folks to help out. WYS had their annual elections meeting this Summer and installed some
new board members as well as returning members. New faces are always a welcome site and greatly
appreciated. We look forward to another exciting season, but will need help along the way.
We urge parents and coaches to please consider helping the WYS League by getting involved. You
don't have to be a board member to help out. Just someone that wants to see the best possible
program for our youth.
To find out more, please come to a monthly board meeting. The WYS Board meets on the first Monday
of every month at the Falzone Field Shack AT 7:00 PM. WE NEED YOU TO HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
If you can't make it to a board meeting and would like to help out, please send an email to the WYS President
