What is the BSA U8 Festival Program? The BSA U8 Festival Program provides a fun, focused, and development-driven environment designed to prepare young players for the next level of soccer.
For the 2025–26 season, this program is open to 1st & 2nd graders. All games are played in a 5v5 format, including a goalkeeper.
Because this is an advanced developmental program, players must be evaluated before joining.
What can I expect for my child?
Your child will train in a positive, dynamic learning environment where coaches balance improvement with enjoyment. We push players to grow technically and tactically while making sure they stay excited about the game.
Over the years, the majority of players in this program have transitioned seamlessly into our U9 Travel and Elite pathways, contributing to a significant rise in the overall level of our teams.
While BSA cannot guarantee that every player will earn a U9 travel spot, we make every effort to place as many players as possible—and this program gives them the strongest foundation to do so.

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.
