Northampton Soccer: Travel and Rec Soccer Merge
March 14, 2016. Playing youth soccer in Northampton just got easier--Northampton Soccer Club (NSC) and Northampton Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) are merging. After working side-by-side in town for the last 25 years, and in collaboration with Northampton Parks and Recreation Department, the two organizations are combining to offer spring and fall team play in competitive travel soccer, and local recreational soccer for ages 8-12 in fall, as well as developmental programs for players in grades K-2 in both seasons. Going forward, the combined organization will use "Northampton Soccer" as our name, but both “rec soccer” and travel soccer will continue as separate options for players and families. Details about fall player registration and try-outs for travel soccer will be coming later in spring, but for now we are happy to announce that all Northampton soccer is finally united in one organization. |
Our New Home: Florence Recreation Fields
March 14, 2016. We’ve moved! Northampton Soccer Club is pleased to announce that Florence Recreation Fields at 157 Spring St. is our new home! NSC will use these fields for practices and all our travel soccer home games. Upon christening our new home fields, we’d like to thank Mick Duda and his staff at the Oxbow for providing us an excellent home field for the last 25 years. We could not have built our great club without their support. |
