BYSA forms traveling teams for ages U9 through U18 for the spring season, and U9 through U13 for the fall season as our players in 7th grade and higher will play on school teams.
The youngest age group BYSA accepts into our Traveling League program is U9. Players of birth years younger than the current U9 age group according to the MYSA chart are welcome to join our Rec League program. Please note that the U9 minimum age is in alignment with other clubs in our region.
We will make every effort to roster all registered players on a Traveling team. However, if we do not have enough registered U9 players in a season to properly form a team, those players will be provided the opportunity to register with our Rec program. Please DO NOT double register your U9 player with both Traveling and Rec. If your player needs to move to Rec, we will accommodate regardless of registration deadlines.
BYSA forms Traveling League teams based on player birth year. This is in alignment with Minnesota Youth Soccer Association. You can find a current birth year chart here: Birth Year and Season Matrix
Spring season: mid April (weather permitting) to late June
Fall season: late August to mid October.

Practice days and times will be finalized after registration is complete, as the schedule is based upon the number of teams we form.
All practices are held in Byron. Games will be held in Byron and at locations across Southeast MN and in the Twin Cities region.
The BYSA uniform is required game attire for all players. This includes a uniform kit (shorts, home jersey, and away jersey) at an estimated cost of $96. This cost is NOT included in the league registration fee. Additional details will be emailed to parents with more details on ordering uniforms.
We typically keep a uniform kit for three years. We plan to move to a new kit in Spring 2026.

Yes, we offer payment options for traveling registration. Payment options will vary by season, but generally payments can be made in two or three installments, with the first payment due at the time of registration. Please note Sports Connect adds a $3 per payment installment fee which is retained by them in its entirety.
It is the policy of BYSA to retain all registration fees for any player withdrawing from the association after team assignments have been made. BYSA shall maintain control of the player card for the withdrawing player. In the unlikely event of a full season cancelation, all but $50 will be refunded. This amount covers fixed costs associated with registration.

All adults who have contact with our players (including coaches, assistant coaches, team mangers, and board members) are all required to complete three pre-requisites. (1) Background check (2) Concussion training and (3) SafeSport training. We realize that this takes some of your time, but we are required by state and federal law to have our volunteers complete these requirements. We highly recommend that each team have at least one coach and one assistant that has completed all three requirements. At least one adult who has completed all three requirements must be present at every practice and game.
