Dorchester Youth Soccer

Dorchester Youth Soccer is a neighborhood association with a broad age range and two different entry points. House play is aimed at younger children and newcomers, while travel teams for grades 3–8 add tryouts, typically two practices a week and Saturday games in the Boston Area Youth Soccer league. The association says its programs reach more than 700 young people each season and have operated for more than four decades. The Gallivan Boulevard address is the organization’s contact location; individual team fields and schedules are shared after registration.

The current FAQ lists House registration at $80 per player, including a uniform shirt. Travel registration is $100, with the uniform kit purchased separately at about $100. The House format includes age-graded clinics and small-sided games; the travel path moves from 7v7 in grades 3–4 to 9v9 in grades 5–6 and 11v11 in grades 7–8. Travel tryout registration has no fee, but the family should account for the greater practice load and away matches, which can involve up to 45 minutes of travel.

For families comparing access and commitment, the distinction is practical: House is open regardless of ability and plays on Sundays, while Travel expects regular practices and Saturday games. The association posts individual team schedules during each season, not a single year-round timetable. Confirm the season’s enrollment window and field assignment before using the address for a visit. Dorchester is part of Boston; the New England Revolution compete in MLS but play home matches at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, outside Boston proper.
