The Novas is the Waterville-area "travel team" sponsored by WYSA. This is significantly more competetive play than the recreational soccer program; Novas teams compete against teams in other Maine communities.
Players: We typically support teams from the U-9 through U-14 level, for both Fall and Spring seasons depending on the availability of players and coaches. There are separate teams at each level for boys and for girls. (U-9 means under 9 years old as of August 1; players play at this level for both Fall and Spring seasons... a player may "play up" to fill a team, but may never "play down".)
Commitment: Most Novas teams practice once a week in addition to one or two games on Sundays for a season lasting 8-12 weeks in both Fall and Spring. There are also occasional tournaments which may be full weekend events. Players are expected to be at most practices and games and to communicate with the coach when attendance is not possible.
Cost:Total cost is usually $100-150 per season per child; full or partial scholarships are available, based on need.
Please see the tryout schedule for Fall 2007.
