ATTENTION: Due to the NJ ASK testing, the tryouts and evaluations scheduled for this Monday and Thursday have been postponed until May 21 and 24.

The Berkeley Soccer Association will be holding tryouts and player evaluations for 2012/2013 travel season beginning this Monday, May 7 at the Eastern Boulevard soccer complex.

They are open to players looking to play on recreational level to elite level teams. Teams will play in Ocean County Rec, MOSA, MAPS and JAGS and the higher-level teams will play in several high-level tournaments. U11 and older teams will compete in NJYS State Cup and US Club State Championship tournaments.

The Berkeley Soccer objective is to focus on the highest quality of training and development. This training method is based on a highly technical, ball possession style of soccer, to help develop and turn our young players into highly technically skilled players and help develop our teams from the recreational level all the way to the elite level.

Berkeley Soccer will be looking to form competitive travel teams at U8, U9, U10, U11, U12 and U13. We also will be looking form Berkeley Soccer-Match Fit Chelsea-affiliated teams.

Tryout dates and times are as follows:

For players who will be U8, U9 or U10 in the fall (birthdates between Aug. 1, 2002 through July 31, 2005), the tryouts/evaluations are Monday, May 7 and Thursday, May 10, beginning at 5:30 p.m.  THESE WILL NOW BE HELD MAY 21 AND MAY 24.

Players who will be U11, U12 or U13 in the fall (birthdates between Aug. 1, 1999 and July 31, 2002) can attend tryouts on Monday, May 14 and Thursday, May 17, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Players seeking to try out must register with Berkeley Soccer to do so for liability reasons.

The needed paperwork includes a Berkeley Soccer registration form and a copy of the player’s birth certificate.

Links for the forms can be found on our Registration page (see the link on the left). Further information about registration can be found on that page as well.

Players who do not currently play in the Berkeley Soccer Association and who are interested in attending the tryouts should contact Jimmy DellaPietro at vicepres@berkeleysoccer.com.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to the tryouts so we can complete registration.

As of February 1, 2012, Match Fit Chelsea and the Berkeley Soccer Association have entered into an official affiliation that will bring Match Fit Chelsea's training and coaching services to Berkeley Soccer Association players and those in the surrounding areas.

Match Fit Chelsea and the Berkeley Soccer Association are excited about our partnership and this is the start of many co-sponsored events and promotions that will be provided. Our joint philosophy of player development is far different from neighboring clubs and will ultimately lead to greater technical and tactical ability for every player. With the Match Fit Chelsea/Chelsea Metro training offerings comes a curriculum that is a collaboration of the Match Fit philosophy (one which made them a USSF Development Academy Club), the recent US Soccer Youth curriculum presented by Claudio Reyna and the Chelsea FC Youth Academy curriculum which is developing future English Premier League stars. 

Stay tuned for more details on this partnership in the coming months including Regional Development Schools and tryouts for 2012/2013 Match Fit Chelsea teams.
