BRIDGEWATER SOCCER ASSOCIATION INC Information

Founded in 1975 the Bridgewater Soccer Association (BSA) has grown to become a flagship club playing in the Mid New Jersey Youth Soccer Association (MNJYSA). MNJYSA is the third largest league in the country and first East of the Mississippi River, spanning five counties in Central New Jersey. Today the BSA oversees, manages and offers development as well as training for over thirty teams, comprised of 400 children, ages 8 - 16. Our "Kick-Off Classic" is fast becoming one of the premier fall tournaments attracting over 160 teams, 2,200 players and 7000 fans. BSA provides an environment which enhances the development of our youth for the rigors and demands of a competitive soccer atmosphere. Our mission is to promote, sponsor and conduct a supervised program of soccer training and competition for our youth in the Bridgewater area. Our commitment to the development of the young soccer player, combining a strong moral, technical and social foundation remains our number one goal. Our program offers top level teaching, skills training and coaching in preparation for a high level of competition. We accomplish these goals with strong commitment from all club members. In addition, BSA provides all club members with professional trainers to further advance the skills of our soccer players. The BSA is a soccer club serving boys and girls in the Bridgewater - Raritan area and attracts players beyond those borders to maintain the high demands of competition that is associated with traveling soccer. The club strives to provide quality education and training opportunities for every roster player. The BSA sponsors a select soccer program only. Although skill development and fun continue to be important, the focus of the select program is on year round competitive play for all players who can contribute to the team. For those players who are accepted to play in the select program, BSA applies progressively higher standards for the selection of players at older, more competitive playing ages.
