The Bethlehem Soccer Club is a non-profit organization that provides the opportunity to play soccer and develop soccer skills.
The club offers three distinct programs, each with varying levels of competition.
The Recreation (formerly Intraclub) program runs two, eight-week seasons each year (Spring and Fall). This is the Club's most popular and oldest program. Games are on Saturday mornings and there is customarily one weeknight practice each week. All games and practices are held in town at the Elm Avenue Town Park or at the Club's Soccerplex. Coaches are volunteer parents and results or standings are not maintained - by the adults.
The Travel program offers the opportunity for additional player development and increased competition through more opportunities to practice soccer and through games played against teams from other clubs. Coaching is provided by trained and licensed coaches, many of whom have played soccer at varying competetive levels. The travel season is conducted in the Spring of each year. However, Travel teams have the opportunity to (and most do) practice and compete in indoor facilities through the Winter. Travel requirements at this level of play are generally around The Greater Capital Region. Travel teams also have the opportunity to participate in area and regional tournaments.
The Premier program offers the opportunity for more intensive player development and seeks the highest levels of competition available in the Capital District and surrounding region. Coaching is provided by highly qualified coaches, many of whom hold advanced licenses and coach for area colleges and major high school programs. The premier season is similar to the Travel season. Almost all Premier teams practice and compete in indoor facilities through the Winter.
In addition to the major programs, the club offers Soccer Academies both in the winter and spring. These academies offer an opportunity for the kids to develop skills under the direction the Club' Technical Director and his staff but also for the volunteer coaches to work with the professional coaches.
