East Boston FC — Boston SCORES

East Boston FC was created to fill a neighborhood gap in recreational sports and is supported by Boston SCORES. Its Grassroots division is open to all skill levels from PreK through eighth grade, with coed teams in the younger grades, one weekly Monday or Wednesday practice and Saturday scrimmages. The Travel program for grades 3–6 adds two weekly practices and Saturday games within the city league. The organization frames the work around soccer skills, confidence and character-building rather than selection alone; its Fall 2026 cycle is closed, and it is collecting interest for Spring 2027.

The program page currently gives Grassroots fees of $80 for one season or $140 for the full year, and Travel fees of $160 per season or $300 for two seasons. It also lists limited scholarships, a 25% multi-child discount and the Every Kid Sports Pass, subject to eligibility and award. The same page’s FAQ shows different fee figures—$100 and $200—so the public information is inconsistent. Families should ask Boston SCORES to confirm the amount shown in the registration checkout before budgeting or applying for aid.

The listed field is at 150 Byron Street in East Boston, not in Dorchester. The site says children who attend an East Boston school may be eligible even if they live elsewhere, though a waiver is needed for some travel participation. As of October 30, the fall season is underway and no longer accepting ordinary registration; the published next window is Spring 2027. The team page links to its interest contact and aid information.
