Bayside Varsity and JV Club Soccer

Our club teams compete against other High School Varsity and JV teams, as well as other Varsity and JV club teams.

Volunteers Needed!

Bayside volunteers are the heart of our program.  We are always looking for great people who love children to come help us on the fields!  If you have soccer knowledge - fantastic!  If your new to soccer - no worries.  A positive attitude and a willingness to support and encourage the players is a must along with a desire to learn more about soccer.  We provide coaches training, resources, supportive coaching teams with assist from high school players,  along with a week-by-week guide and videos to walk you through the season.  There is also week by week support from high school players to other volunteers.  Our goal is to have your whole family enjoy the season!      

 

Coaching is a great way to:

  • Spend quality time with your child

  • Support their team and build confidence

  • Get to know other families in the program​
