The Newburyport District will play at Partridge Brook Field in Salisbury and compete against the other MA districts. We strive to roster players with others from their district to promote familiarity among teammates. However, due to varying registration numbers across districts, it may not always be possible to keep all players together. Our goal is to ensure a fun and competitive experience for everyone.
