WYSA High School Soccer Program
WYSA’s High School program is designed for students in Grades 9-12 and operates independently of the Westborough High School team. If you’re interested in joining the Westborough High School team, please check with the High School Athletic Department—tryouts are typically held in August.
Form Your Own Team!
This program is all about taking charge of your soccer experience. We encourage you to gather your friends and form your own team. You can choose between two options:
- Competitive: For those looking to challenge themselves and take their skills to the next level.
- Noncompetitive: For players who want to enjoy the game in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
This flexibility makes it a great way to continue playing soccer during the Spring season when your high school may not offer a Spring program.
WYSA's High School Program is a travel program. Depending on the number of players registered, teams could be co-ed, boys or girls. It is a great way to continue to play soccer in the WYSA program and to have fun! Typically, Westborough only enters a team during the Spring season.
