About

Brentwood Youth Soccer Club is a not-for-profit 501©3 soccer organization in Suffolk County, New York. The club has been providing quality soccer training since 1974 and a wide range of soccer programs for all ages and skill levels. Our programs include Travel, Pre-Academy, and Premier programs with teams from U8-U19 year-round, along with an intramural (Recreational) program for children to learn basic skills in a non-competitive, fun environment.  BYSC also runs various camps and clinics throughout the summer of each year including training camps run by international coaches, such as Kevin Grogan, a Man United Academy Product, and Samuel Caballero, former Honduras Men’s National Team standout, to name a few.

BYSC has a history of affiliating and partnering with international academies, most notably  AS Roma, 2012-2013, when Francesco (Ciccio) Graziani, former Italian World Cup winner, was the delegate in charge of that initiative.  For the past three years, the club has been providing our players with the opportunity to train overseas through its international partnership programs in England and Spain.  Our first and foremost priority is providing the best soccer environment and competitive opportunities for our youth at the most affordable cost.

Brentwood Soccer is iconic in developing players into many influential role models, from coaches, teachers, guidance counselors, movie producers, successful business owners, to professional athletes and coaches at the national stage.

All our training and games are at our home fields, located at the Brentwood State Park, previously known as The Pilgrim State Soccer Fields since Fall 1978, as per permission granted to the club by the NYS Office of Mental Health to use the property as soccer fields for its program. In 1998, after the property, along with the Pilgrim State Hospital, had been put up for sale, the club and its supporters rallied together to save the fields for the community.  With the generosity of the buyer, the late Jerry Wolkoff, who agreed to take the parcel off the sale and to return it to OMH in his effort to keep it for the community, the fields were no longer for sale. The parcel was soon preserved under the NYS Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, thanks to the steadfast support of the late Senators Trunzo and Johnson, who also secured funding to improve the fields championed by the club and local community groups. In April 2003, the Pilgrim State Soccer Fields were transferred to Parks and Recreation, officially becoming Brentwood State Park. After years of tireless advocacy and overcoming setbacks like vetoed funding, we finally have our dream home—a place we’re proud of and cherish above all else.

The Brentwood Premier Program started as a club-based elite program that competes in the NYCSL National Premier League as one of the original members in the fall of 2012.  Since then, the club has consistently sent teams to the National Playoffs, where NPL representatives face off against ECNL teams for the national title.

Since fall 2020, the club’s Premier program has competed in the US Youth Soccer National League, North Atlantic Conference, first in the Club vs. Club Division and now in Team vs. Team. Our teams aimed to reach the National Competition and secure a spot in the National League P.R.O. In three of the four seasons they've competed, Brentwood teams have successfully qualified for the NL P.R.O., a pathway to the national competition, and through regional playoffs have earned their place at Nationals.

The club will also compete in the National Premier League (NPL) sanctioned by US Club Soccer, starting in Spring 2025, as a returning member, providing more platforms for our players.

Starting in the 2025-26 season, Brentwood Soccer is proud to join the elite ECNL RL—a challenging yet thrilling competition that blends passion, discipline, and the relentless drive for excellence. Our coaches, staff, and players unite in pursuit of a shared goal, making it more than just a game. It’s a lifestyle built on commitment, resilience, and a genuine love for soccer, shaping every moment both on and off the field.
