Welcome to Sanborn Youth Soccer Association's Website!
We are a small (about 300 players) community organization dedicated to promoting the game, fun, and sportmanship of playing soccer.
We have both a recreational program (co-ed, ages 4-13, anyone can play) and a competitive/travel program (need to try out annually, travel to other NH towns). Our players and families come primarily from Kingston & Newton but those from surrounding towns are also welcome to join.
We love soccer and play because it's FUN!

SUMMER SOCCER CAMP WAS LOTS OF FUN!!!
We had fantastic weather for the week and great fun with our coaches-Brendon (Duck), Ash, and Tim from England and Francesco from Italy. Thanks to Youth Elite Soccer for sending them and for presenting a soccer program that not only teaches soccer skills but get the kids excited about the game because they have fun.
Thanks to the Kingston Fire Department for, once again, supplying water for "soak the coach", Friday. Thanks also to our host families: Ed & Nancy Condon, the Kalinowski family and the Sice family. They thoroughly enjoyed having the coaches stay with them for the week and the coaches appreciated their hospitality.
Have a great summer, everyone!

2010 Granite State Champs-SYSA U13 Girls
CONGRATULATIONS to the SYSA girls' U-13 travel team for their hard-fought victory over the Granite FC Soccer Club to win the 2010 Granite State Soccer League Championship in Pembroke.
Down by a score of 2-0 at half-time, the girls, led by Coach Dan Mahoney, and assistant coach Bob Smith, came back to tie the game 2-2 at the end of regulation. After 2 overtimes, the teams played hard but were still tied, forcing a shoot-out of penalty kicks. As the fans watched and cheered with great anticipation, the scored remained tied after 9 shooters. The winning strike was finally delivered by Kelly Collins, finding its way into the net after deflecting off the crossbar.
We are very proud and send congratulations to all the players: Olivia Battye, Ellery Rasmussen, Michaela Streep, Sierra Swasey, Chelsea Schultz, Michelle Merritt, PJ Ross, Taylor Kurto, Maddie Mahoney, Ashlyn Forbes, Kristen Phillips, Sophie Smith, Shannon Kinsella, Sophie Bortone, Eric Kinsella, Haley Herrmann and Kelly Collins.
YOUR KID PLAYS FOR FREE WHEN YOU COACH HIS/HER TEAM! As an incentive for you to coach your child's team, SYSA will waive
the registration fee for that child.
This offer is for primary coaches only, not assistants, and applies to the fee for 1 child only.
As a coach, you will also get a tee shirt & a Coach's clipboard
with wipe-off board diagram of a soccer field on the back.
Plus, as a coach YOU get to set your own practice schedule
(does not apply to Scatterball, which has no outside practices). Most teams have 1, hour-long outside practice session, which can be a week-night evening, anytime on a Saturday, or on Sunday before the game.
And - in the Fall, you'll have your picture taken with your team as a lifetime reminder for you and your child of the season when you were "MY COACH!"
If this is your first time coaching, THAT'S OKAY!
SYSA provides lots of support in the form of:
-Coaching videos on loan
