While the regular season for our Travel teams ended on June 8, five SYSL Travel teams have continued practicing after qualifying for the postseason. We have two teams competing in Middlesex Youth Soccer League's Commissioner's Cup and another three who will be playing in the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions qualifying playoffs.

Commissioner's Cup
This is a round-robin three-game competition hosted by MYSL between the top four teams in each division in Grades 3/4 (U10) and Divisions 3 to 5 in Grades 5/6 (U12) and Grades 7/8 (U14), with the team with the most points after those three games hoisting the cup. These are the SYSL Commissioner's Cup teams:

B34-3 White (Coaches: Michaël Chery, Ben Livermore, and James McCrea)

B34-5b Green (Coaches: David Wilmouth and Jason Sawyer)

MTOC Qualifiers
The top four teams in Divisions 1 and 2 for Grades 5/6 (U12) and Grades 7/8 (U14) are eligible for MTOC, with semifinals played on Saturday, June 22 and the winners meeting in the final on Sunday, June 23. These are the MTOC qualifying playoff participants from Somerville:

B56-2 Red (Coaches: Fred Foster and Gordon Cooke)

G56-2b Blue (Coaches: James Hanley, Kate Beal, and Barry Logue)

B78-2 Blue (Coaches: Michael Rooney, Chuck Lounsberry, Rob Odilon, and Brandon Pavao)
