Schedules And Scores With "Sports Manager"
The Middlesex League introduced it's new scheduling software package this past Fall Season called "Sports Manager". This is
what will be used to manage the schedule for the up coming Spring Season and future seasons (as well as many other aspects of running a
league) At this time, all travel coaches throughout the Middlesex League should now have an understanding as to how this program works.
As with all new programs, there are still some bugs in the system. Game schedule times and fields are subject to change without notice.
Please check this on a regular basis during the season to see if any changes have been made to your schedule.

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
