Where We Play
BYSA Fields
All BYSA games and practices are held at fields in Beverly. Check the Fields page for live status and the current practice schedule.
🐕 Non-service dogs are not permitted at any BYSA fields.
Travel & MTOC Teams
Competitive Team Commitment
Players selected for BYSA's top MTOC teams or the Grade 3/4 ECYSA travel team are expected to make BYSA their primary extracurricular commitment outside of academic and religious obligations.
All players are welcome and encouraged to participate in BYSA programs regardless of commitment level. If a player cannot meet these expectations, they will be placed on a team that better fits their availability. Families should notify the appropriate Travel Director as soon as possible if expectations can't be met — team placement in future seasons may be affected.
