NGS offers fall travel (BAYS) soccer for players in Grades 4 and above. In the BAYS program, girls are placed on teams according to their skill levels. Games are played against teams from nearby towns. Girls are grouped by age (not grade), as follows:
| U10 = Born after 7/31/91 | U12 = Born after 7/31/89 | U14 = Born after 7/31/87 | High School = Born after 7/31/83 |
Players born between August 1, 1991 and December 31, 1991
have the option of playing either U-10 or U-12 travel soccer.
Players born between August 1, 1989 and December 31, 1989 have the option of
playing either U-12 or U-14 travel soccer.
Players born between August 1, 1987 and December 31, 1987 have the option of
playing either U-14 or HS travel soccer.
NGS strongly recommends that these players carefully consider their selection and make an informed decision.

REGISTRATION FEES: $65.00 for the first girl, $50.00 for the second, and $40.00 for each additional girl from the same family.

GAME SCHEDULES: U10, U12 and U14 games are played on

dates, times and places for the games will be distributed to the players by

each week. Due to field space constraints, the day of the week, time and

upon tryout performances and coaches' evaluations. NGS will have only four
U10 teams during the fall season.

the only footwear allowed. Non-metal cleats are recommended. Shin
