What is the difference between Rec. and Travel Soccer?
Rec. or Fall in-town soccer is under the Town Recreation Dept. It is open to all children in grades K-8. For more information please see Sandwich Youth Soccer Home Page. Travel or Club soccer is under the Sandwich Soccer Club (SSC) and is for 8-18 year olds. It is sanctioned by Mass Youth Soccer. SSC strives to provide a higher level of competition and at older age groups stratifies the level of play. SSC strives to provide placement for every player on a team through it's tryout process but placement isn't guaranteed. For more information please see Sandwich Soccer Club Home Page.

I heard that ALL volunteers must complete a CORI form with the Town of Sandwich. Is this true?
Yes, please complete the CORI Form which is found on the coaches page. |
I heard that ALL coaches, parents and players must read and agree to a Code of Ethics. Is this true?
Yes, this is now required when registering online. |
Can I request to be placed on a certain team?
Yes, Teams still need to be balanced but we will make every effort to accommodate requests. Please make request before team selection. |
How are teams decided?
Much time is taken to ensure that the teams are a fair balance. We have the Age Group Directors place the players by dividing players based on ability, special requests and numbers. |
Do Coaches have the opportunity to ensure there is fair placement?
Yes, we have a coaches night for each grade and the coaches are encouraged to go. This is for the purpose of reviewing player placement. |
I’m interested in being a coach or age group director. What do I need to do?
Either fill out the registration form (paper form) or contact the Vice President of Girls or Boys. |
I’m interested in being a referee? What should I do?
Please contact the Referee Assignor and provide your name, phone number and email. Referees need to be in at least 7th grade. We are also looking for high school students to help. |
How can I help?
We are always looking for volunteers! Please email one of the board members. |
What type of equipment does my son or daughter need?
Shin guards are required and cleats are recommended. |
What does the season entail?
Sandwich Youth Soccer offers soccer to Sandwich Youth in grades K-8. The Soccer Season runs for eight weeks, usually starting in the Fall on Labor Day Weekend, and running through the end of October. All games are played on Saturdays, at the Henry T. Wing Elementary School. |
Are there Practices during the week?
Grades K through 2 do not have a practice during the week, as they have practice time scheduled before the game each Saturday. Grades 3 through 8 may practice during the week at either the Forestdale School or the Wing School from 4:30 pm to 7 pm. There are no practice fields reserved at either the Oak Ridge or High School. Practice is at the discretion of the coaches.
It is recommended that there be no more than two practices a week. One is perfectly fine. |
A friend mentioned she heard of a plan submitted to the Town Selectman to develop more field space in Sandwich?
Yes, check this out: Recreational Field Development Plan. |
