Overview

Mission

The league is organized to provide an outlet for the development of youth soccer players in the south shore region of Massachusetts. It provides a competitive league for boys and girls ages 10-19 each spring and fall and a less competitive league for ages 8 & 9. There is a league championship tournament for the competitive levels and a friendship "fun" tournament for the younger children, both held in june of each year. All teams from the league's member towns and cities are eligible to play in the league and over 7,000 children participate each year.

What it reported doing in 2024

The league has been successful in organizing competitive youth soccer competition for over 7000 older children in the south shore area of Massachusetts each spring. It has held a championship tournament each spring and the winners have moved on to the mass youth soccer assn tournament of champions where many teams have achieved success. It has also organized and successfully run a less competitive league for younger children. For those younger children it has held a friendship tournament each spring where all of the children are able to meet one another on one set of fields and compete in friendly competitions with each other and participate in other fun activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
