Over the next few years McLean Youth Soccer (MYS) is embarking on a Field Development Initiative that will convert a number of our fields from grass to synthetic turf. The goal of this effort is to insure that every MYS player has the opportunity to learn and play the game on a quality surface.

In order to achieve this goal, the membership rates will increase beginning in Fall 2008. The fee increase is critical to the club's efforts to improve the quality of our fields, while also continuing to provide essential services to the membership.

The investment we make into our fields today will bring enjoyment for our players in years to come. We will continue to create opportunities for all players to get increasing access higher quality fields through new training opportunities, camps and other programs as more fields become available.
