More touches | more goals | more fun!
What is the BSA U8 Festival Program? The BSA U8 Festival Program provides a fun, focused, and development-driven environment designed to prepare young players for the next level of soccer.
For the 2025–26 season, this program is open to 1st & 2nd graders. All games are played in a 5v5 format, including a goalkeeper.
Because this is an advanced developmental program, players must be evaluated before joining.
What can I expect for my child?
Your child will train in a positive, dynamic learning environment where coaches balance improvement with enjoyment. We push players to grow technically and tactically while making sure they stay excited about the game.
Over the years, the majority of players in this program have transitioned seamlessly into our U9 Travel and Elite pathways, contributing to a significant rise in the overall level of our teams.
While BSA cannot guarantee that every player will earn a U9 travel spot, we make every effort to place as many players as possible—and this program gives them the strongest foundation to do so.
What are the FEES? $800 and what do they cover? see below for break down
Who do our Festival Program PLAY against and where do we TRAVEL?We play half of our games in Bridgewater and half in the following surrounding towns (Hillsborough, Basking Ridge, Berkeley Heights, Scotch Plains, Chatham, Clark, Madison and Summit)
