Respect - Collaboration - Development - Transparency
NJ Nationals was born from the idea that like-minded, town-based clubs could collaborate to provide high-level environments for players seeking more than their individual clubs could offer on their own. This partnership still allows players to enjoy playing with their friends and classmates year-round. The clubs currently involved are Berkeley Heights, Bridgewater, Chatham, Clark, FC Berna Legacy, Hillsborough, Scotch Plains-Fanwood, Madison, and Summit SC. From this collaboration, the pathway for an NJ Nationals player was created.
Currently, the Nationals program starts as young as U7 with our NJ National Futures program. NJ Nationals Website
Formal tryouts are held each April for the upcoming Fall season. Visit our Tryouts page for dates, age groups, and registration links. If you miss April tryouts, mid-year evaluations may be available when roster openings exist — contact us to arrange a practice visit.
BSA offers programs for players ages U7 through U14, covering both pre-travel and travel levels. We run two main seasons each year — Fall and Spring — with tryouts in April ahead of the Fall season.
Program fees cover coaching, field permits, referee fees, league registration, uniforms, and tournament entry where applicable. A full fee breakdown is available on each program's detail page. BSA is a non-profit organization and all fees go directly toward supporting player development.
