The Boston Bolts are going to school.
Starting in January 2021, the Bolts are partnering with the Hillside School in Marlboro, Mass., to offer an immersive soccer and education experience for boys in fourth through ninth grade.
The program is open to day and boarding students from the Bolts and other club soccer backgrounds, opening doors to all players across New England. The Bolts already use Hillside’s facilities for practices, leaving CEO Brian Ainscough to call the venture a “no-brainer.”
