About City League (5th & 6th) and City League (7th & 8th)

City League teams play a weekly 8v8 game on Saturday in Cambridge, mostly at Danehy Park. City League (5th &6th) generally play in the early to mid-afternoon and City League (7th & 8th). Teams hold weekly 60 or 90 minute practices led by volunteer coaches, typically on a weekday afternoon somewhere between 4:30 and 6:30 PM, with each team assigned a specific time and location in a Cambridge park or field. We ask for information from all players about preferred practices times and locations before the season begins, and do our best to place kids on teams whose practices fit within their families’ schedules.  

We culminate the spring season with a weekend-long City Championship tournament at Danehy Park as teams compete to win the coveted Cambridge Cup. It is the highlight of the year for so many kids in Cambridge and a lot of fun.

CYS programming is focused on player development through play, with methods supported by Mass Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer.  It is a very fun and competitive experience to play in Cambridge Youth Soccer, and it can be a great foundation for a life of competitive high-level or not-competitive recreational love for the game.
