When registering a 6th grader: If your child is going into the 6th grade this fall, he/she is eligible to play on one of DSA’s/DYAA’s teams that play in the Middle School Soccer Association league (MSSA). However, if your child is not ready for, or interested in MSSA, then you should register your child in the 4th/5th/6th grade Rec league, not in the MSSA league. The MSSA teams have 5 home games and 5 away games in nearby communities. MSSA is slightly more competitive than Rec, MSSA uses licensed refs and the teams play on full size fields.
