There are many different ways soccer leagues can organize their teams. MHYSA fields teams in several categories: 6v6, 8v8, 11v11, girls, boys, Intown and Travel. Age categories can range from Under 6 to Under 18, depending on the season and numbers of players/coaches available.

MHYSA organizes teams into two leagues - Intown and Travel.

The Intown program is centered on our younger players. This is an opportunity to introduce the players to the game, teach them the rules and to have fun. After all, it is a game. Teams are organized and play against other teams within the league.

Intown teams include the Under 6 Instructional (U-6), Under 8 (U-8), Under 10 (U-10)aged players. Teams in this category are coed U-6, and then split into boys and girls teams U-8 and U-10.

The Travel program is affiliated with the Boston Area Youth Soccer League (BAYS). Teams are organized by gender, age and skill level. These teams travel to other towns to play in a more competitive game situation.

Travel teams start at Under 11 (U-11), Under 12 (U-12), and Under 14 (U-13 and 14). Depending on the number of players, older aged teams can sometimes be fielded for the Spring season. Teams play a 10 game season, 5 games are played home and 5 away.
