Masco Youth Soccer: Fall 2026 / Spring 2027 Tryouts

Tryouts Objective:

The evaluation process is to help identify the level of competition that will best promote the development of each player. Tryout results are supplemented with coach evaluations from the past season. ALL PLAYERS WILL BE PLACED ON A TEAM.

Format:

TWO tryout dates for each age group/gender. Please try to attend both nights. Notify us of any conflicts at [email protected] 

• Players must be registered in order to attend tryouts. Players who are not able to attend tryouts will be placed on a team, but we can't guarantee that we will be able to place them at the appropriate level of competition.
• Independent evaluators from Skillzcheck
• Parents are NOT allowed to attend tryouts and watch. No exceptions. This process can be stressful for the children and we do not want any added anxiety from parents watching and commenting.
• Additional information about tryouts will be shared to registered players via email as the dates approach. For now, please mark your calendars with these dates. If you have not registered, you will not receive the emails.
  

Schedule (Dates are firm, times are tentative):

• We reserve the right to adjust schedules as we learn of school-related conflicts or logistical hurdles. Please register early so that we can finalize our plans to accommodate the number of registered players.

Other Important Info:

Equipment: please bring a ball, cleats, shin guards, water. Do NOT wear club soccer uniforms, soccer tournament shirts or team jerseys

Behavior: Foul language and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. We will remove players whose behavior interferes with the success of other players and such behavior will be taken into account in our team formation process. Please address expectations for behavior and good sportsmanship with your children ahead of time. 

Siblings: Twins or siblings in the same age group will not necessarily be placed on the same team UNLESS parents explicitly ask. If parents wish to keep twins/siblings on the same team, and if they are not at the same level of development, they will be placed at the level of the sibling with the need for a lower level of competition.

Masco Youth Soccer: Tryout Logistics

Arrival Process:

• After entering the driveway to Boxford Commons (Captain Cashin Way) please follow the road past the entrances to the turf field parking lot. (Do not take a left into the Turf field lot)
• Proceed over the bridge and toward the Grass Field Parking lot. Loop around the lot and head back toward the turf field. 
• Enter the Turf Field lot in the entrance after the wooden bridge.
• Drop off in the Turf Field parking lot.
• A volunteer will meet your player at drop off and direct them to the check-in table. Parents should remain in their cars and are not needed to check-in their children. 
• NO PARKING. No exceptions (except for volunteers).
• For the second group of the day - Please do not come too early. We would like to try to clear out the first group before the second begin to arrive (otherwise we will have double the car volume).

Pick-up Process:

• Similar to drop-off, please proceed past both entrances to the turf field and head toward the grass field parking lot
• The line to pick up will snake around the back parking lot before heading back to the Turf Field.
• We will hold the pickup line at the second entrance to the Turf Field lot and let in several cars at a time to pick up in the same location as drop off. 
• Please do not come early. You will not be allowed to park and watch. Parking will complicate the logistics of our tryout.
• There could be as many as a 100 cars trying to pick-up at the same time. (Please carpool!)
• If your child needs to leave early, please notify us ahead of time, so that we can bring your child over to the pick-up spot at the designated time.
