The Northwest Bergen Soccer League is for players grades 3 through 8, born from August 1, 1997, to July 31, 2005. 

Girls games are played on Saturday mornings and boys games are held on Sunday afternoons. Both practice once a week on a day to be determined by the coach (Monday-Thursday.)

A wallet size photo is required at registration.  If you arrive at registration without a photo, you will be turned away.

The fee is $80 per child.

High school soccer players are also eligible to participate in the Northwest Bergen Soccer League but we are limited to two teams. Therefore, only the first 40 registrations will be accepted and all others will be placed on a waiting list.

The high school league is a co-ed league that practices once a week (typically on Fridays) and plays its games on Sunday afternoons.

The fee is $85 per participant.

The 1st and 2nd grade soccer programs are instructional programs for players entering grades 1 and 2 in September 2013.  First grade boys will meet from 9 to 10 a.m. on Saturday mornings and 1st grade girls will meet from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. 

Second grade boys and girls will play more structured games on Saturday mornings at various times and fields in town. The registration fee for these programs is $60.

The Kindergarten soccer program is an instructional program for players entering kindergarten (not pre-k or transitional kindergarten) in September 2013.  The kindergarteners meet on Saturday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. or 10 to 11 a.m. at Pulis Field on Wyckoff Avenue behind the YMCA. 

The registration fee for this program is also $60.

Children in grades K-2 may participate in both soccer and football (registration for football coming up in May.) However, children in grades 3-8 may NOT participate in both sports during the same season.
