Where to find your schedule

Grades 3 through 8 play in the Western Bergen Soccer League. Pre-K through grade 2 play in town.

Grades 3–8

Western Bergen Soccer League

Allendale plays neighboring towns in six divisions across grades 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8, boys and girls. WBSL publishes every fixture, field and result, and it is the authority whenever something changes.

Open the WBSL schedule

Pre-K through grade 2

These groups do not play in the league. Sessions run in town at a set weekly time, and your coach confirms the details.

Your own team

Team times, rosters and any changes reach you through TeamSnap and your coach.

How soccer changes by grade

It is one ARC program with a deliberately different experience for younger and older players.

When decisions go out

Field decisions generally reach families through coaches by around 3:00 PM on weekdays and 8:15 AM on weekends. Please do not call or text commissioners for status.

How the chain works

The Borough emails the commissioners, each commissioner tells their coaches, and coaches tell families. Check messages from your coach for the final word.
