Although DYSA does not sponsor/run a broad indoor soccer program in the winter, there are almost always teams, formed by interested Duxbury parents, participating at local indoor facilities. These facilities also offer clinic-type programs at times, in addition to indoor league competition.

The local facilities include the following:

South Shore Sport Center - Hingham, MA
http://www.southshoresportscenter.com/

Jungleplex - Plymouth MA
http://www.jungleplex.com/

South Shore Field House - Pembroke, MA [CLOSED, July 2011]

Cohasset Sports Complex

DYSA is providing a "Find A Team/Player" Forum For Indoor Soccer on this website as a way for families who are interested in playing indoor soccer to find each other.

If you have a team and are looking for players, or want to start a team, or if you are looking for other Duxbury players, you can use this forum to post your contact information and player's age group so that others who have a similar interest can reach you.

You will need to work with the specific indoor facilities to form/register your teams -- this forum is only to advertise that you are forming a team, and to help connect with other players/teams.

When posting, please use the topics/thread(s) for your specific age group/gender to more quickly connect with others.  There is an EXISTING thread for each age group and gender.

(Note that the existence of a thread does not necessarily mean that a program exists for that age group at any of the local facilities.  However, if enough families together express interest to one of the indoor facilities, the facility will often find a way to create a program to meet the demand.)

Indoor sessions start soon at some of our local indoor soccer facilities. Registration deadlines are in the next few week at most local facilities.  Please refer to their websites and contact them directly for the most up to date information.

Please take time to read the "READ THIS FIRST" thread in the forum.  DYSA has posted some more detailed information about local facilities in the forum; the topic is here.

***NOTE: If your child tries/tried out for and is/was selected for a DYSA U12 or U14 Spring Select Travel Team, then they will likely be asked to train with their team during the winter, possibly including participating on an indoor team with the other players who were selected for the team.  Therefore, you likely will not need to post in this forum.

Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association recently launched their on-line coach education course,  G / U6-8  coach licensing course.  This is the entry level course designed for those folks who are coaching our youngest players. 

John Burrill, Executive Director of MYSA writes the following:

"The G-Course online is especially unique in the fact that all students have a LIVE interactive instructor available for questions and discussion as they go through the course.  With today's busy lifestyles we understand the problems that coaches face trying to block out time to attend a live course. In an attempt to address this problem and to provide education to those who may not otherwise seek it, we have developed a course that mirrors our live course.  It is our sincere hope that every coach in Massachusetts will earn their license, and providing this course will allow all people to do so from the comfort of their own home or office.

We encourage all your coaches to become licensed and take this course.  We will still be holding ‘live’ G courses as well for those who want a live instructor.    You can access the G on line either thru or web site or at www.massyouthcoachingcourse.org"

Duxbury Youth Soccer will reimburse all Coaches registered in our program, who obtain a certificate of completion.  We encourage all coaches to utilize this convenient training tool.
