Bridgeview Soccer Academy training in Brooklyn

The usual pattern in youth soccer is a chain of clubs. A toddler class somewhere, a beginner program somewhere else, and then a search for a competitive team once a child turns out to be good.

Here the whole path sits on one field. Kinder Island for the youngest, the Recreational program for any level, then Pre-Academy and our academy teams for players who want to compete. Nobody has to change clubs to keep going.

  • Groups of 5 to 8 children per coach, so the coach knows your child by name and by level.
  • The same training standard whichever coach and group your child lands in.
  • A field that works all year — open air in summer, under a climate-controlled cover in winter.
  • Evaluations and reports, so you can see what changed and why.
Getting Here

From Gravesend to the field

A straightforward trip west toward Bay Parkway and the water.

The field
MatchPoint NYC
9000 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214

Our sessions run inside the MatchPoint complex in Bensonhurst — an enclosed, secured site with locker rooms, a cafe and a waiting area for parents.

By car from Gravesend
About 10 to 15 minutes

The destination is Bay Parkway at Shore Parkway, next to the Caesar's Bay shopping center, where parking is free.

There is free parking at the Caesar's Bay shopping center right next to the complex.

By subway and bus
D and N trains, local buses

Both the D and the N run toward Bay Parkway, and the B1, B6 and B82 buses serve the area. Check your exact route in the MTA app, since the walk from the station is not short.

While your child trains
Stay, or watch from anywhere

There is a parent waiting area on site, and sessions are streamed — so a parent who has to drop off and run can still watch the training.
