Can I request a specific coach for my child or request my child to be on the same team as another player?

Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches are the only ones guaranteed to have their children placed on their team. No other coaching requests will be guaranteed. The only player requests that can be honored are for siblings. SYSA team rosters are determined through a fair lottery system, ensuring balanced teams based on age, years of experience, and boy/girl ratio.

What if my child isn’t very athletic or has never played a sport? Would SYSA be a good fit for them?

Our coaches have a variety of skill sets, and if needed, we will match your child with a coach who best supports their needs.
